Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF)

Winter/Christmas 2025 sessions will be available to view and book from Monday 10 November.

These fully funded fun and educational activity sessions are to support low-income families. Children eligible for benefit-related free school meals (FSM) can register, book and attend sessions for free.

 If you have already receive a unique HAF booking code, you do not need to re-register

Step 1 - have you registered?

To book a benefit-related FSM HAF place, you must first register using the HAF registration form with Hampshire County Council to receive a unique code that your activity provider will require when you book with them. Providers will not be able to accept your booking without this code. 

Other families may be able to access a HAF scheme at the providers discretion. Registration is not required under providers discretion. Further Discretionary information.

Step 2 – search for and book a place

To find an activity, select your district from one of the 10 tiles displayed below, and a list of local providers will be on view. For further detail on where these providers are delivering HAF sessions, press 'show results in map' to view the page in map view. Only the providers on the display page will be featured on the map.

Once you have found a HAF provider that you and your child find interesting, you can make your booking by selecting their listing and using the contact information or website details provided. We do not manage bookings on the behalf of our providers.

Step 3 – get ready and be sure to attend

Check the provider information for any items your child is requested to bring along. Please attend your booked session as an unattended session could have been used by another family who would have benefitted.
