Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF)

Summer 2026 HAF schemes will be available to view and book from Monday 22 June 2026 

The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme provides fully funded fun and educational activity sessions throughout the Easter, summer, and winter school holidays. Hampshire children and young people who receive benefit-related free school meals (FSM) can register, book, and attend HAF sessions for free. These fully funded fun and educational activity sessions are to support low-income families across Hampshire. 

Step 1 – Search for and book a place

Visit the Hampshire County Council Eequ page to browse schemes in your area. Listings can be filtered by area, age, and scheme type. Once you have found a HAF provider that you and your child find interesting, you can register your interest, and you will be sent a reminder to complete your booking once they become available to book. 

Step 2 – 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.
