Welcome to Slough Holiday Activities and Food Programme, also known as HAF.
[background music]
The Holiday Activities and Food Programme is a DfE funded initiative for local authorities to coordinate free holiday provision, including:
- healthy food and
- lots of fun activities
for children who receive benefits related free school meals.

Let's have fun!
If you're not eligible for benefits related free school meals, don't worry. If the provider is registered with Ofsted or run by a school, parents and carers can claim up to 85% of the cost via tax free childcare.
If you're not eligible for tax free childcare, there may be other help available from the government.
Children aged from 5 to 16 years old have enjoyed everything from arts and crafts to fencing, football and circus skills. They've tasted different foods, enjoyed a new experience and made new friends.
The HAF programme runs every
- Easter
- summer and
- Christmas break.

Slough HAF supported over 1,200 children last summer. And with more than 20 HAF clubs located around the borough offering a diverse range of activities, there is something for every child to enjoy.
