Affordable kids' activities and kids eat free summer 2026
Summer holidays are great fun for kids, but they can be challenging for anyone trying to manage money and organise activities.
We’ve compiled some useful information for you about government funded holiday activities, places serving food with special offers, and tips for saving money on school uniforms.
Holiday Activities and Food (HAF)
HAF is a Department for Education (DfE) funded programme aimed at enabling children and young people in receipt of benefits-related free school meals (FSM) to attend school holiday activities and experiences during Easter, summer and Christmas.
Free School Meal eligible children and families with a referral are invited to sign up for the programme now.
The programme creates free places for eligible children to attend, with a focus on enriching activities with a healthy meal and snacks included.
