He actually came home and his feedback was “I feel like I’m wanted and have had a brilliant time. I want to go back again as I feel like I belong”. As a SEN parent – this actually brought me to tears, as for the first time ever he was able to be himself.

The Holiday Activities and Food programme (HAF)  supports the wellbeing of children between 5 and 16 years by providing a variety of activities and food during school holidays.

Utilising our extensive database of high quality staff, we offer activities and food for children who receive benefits-related free school meals, specialising in providing SEND provision, creating opportunities that may not be available to them within mainstream settings.

We recognise that families may be struggling to choose between putting food on the table and paying their bills. We do not believe families should be forced to choose which is why we provide government funded days out for families to create long lasting memories of fun.

We have worked with local authorities since 2022 to positively impact the health and wellbeing of the local community across the school holidays.
