Holiday Activities and Food programme

The Holiday Activity and Food programme (HAF) offers a range of free holiday activities and clubs across East Suffolk.

The local programme is for children (5-16) who are eligible for benefits-related school meals, vulnerable or who may have additional needs and would benefit from accessing the programme. The programme also provides a meal for participants.

HAF runs over Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays and funding currently expires in March 2025. To find out what programmes are running in your area, please go to booking platform Eequ to view different activities available and to book. There is an interactive map and a search function on Eequ. The booking process asks about eligibility i.e. Free School Meals or other qualifying factors.

Programmes will also try and provide information about other things that may be helpful – e.g. food pantries nearby.
