    Brief

    The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme provides free nutritious meals and engaging activities for children aged 4-16 from eligible families during school holidays (Easter, summer, and Christmas breaks). Funded by the Department for Education, this initiative addresses financial pressures families face during school closures by providing childcare support, activities that keep children active and socially engaged, and resources on nutrition and food budgeting. Kent County Council manages the programme through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), allowing service providers to submit bids at any time with rolling review rounds. Eligible families must have children receiving benefits-related Free School Meals. Bidders can apply immediately as the system remains open for continuous submissions.
