    Brief

    Kent's Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme provides free holiday childcare, nutritious meals, and enriching activities for children aged 4-16 from low-income families during Easter, summer, and Christmas breaks. Eligible families receive Free School Meals (FSM) support through benefits. The Department for Education-funded programme addresses key challenges families face during school holidays, including increased food costs, childcare expenses, and reduced household income. Service providers deliver engaging physical activities, social opportunities, and nutrition education while helping reduce child isolation and food insecurity. Delivery must comply with grant conditions outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding with Kent County Council. Suppliers should provide comprehensive holiday provision including meals meeting nutritional standards, supervised recreational and educational activities, and family support services focused on improving health outcomes and financial resilience.
