Happy Healthy Holidays

Children and young people receiving free school meals can sign up to enjoy free activities during the Summer break with our Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF).

Funded by the Department for Education, 'Happy Healthy Holidays' provides a great opportunity for local children and young people who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals to do something exciting in the school holidays and meet new friends. The sessions include a variety of fun activities alongside a nutritious meal each day at no cost to you.

The programme includes specific provisions available for children with SEND or additional needs.

Our Summer programme of activities will be being delivered by a number of providers with information to be available over the coming weeks.

Changes to how you book

If your child is eligible for a funded place for activities included in our Summer 2025 Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF), you will receive an e-voucher by text or email before the summer holidays.

This will be from hello@holidays - a service that Lancashire County Council has commissioned to send out the vouchers.

The vouchers will be issued by your child’s school and sent to the contact phone number or email account held by them.  This will only be used for holiday e-vouchers.

You will need to use the special 16-digit HAF code at the bottom of the voucher to be able to book any of the activities below through the link.

This is for your child only and is not transferable.

To book your eligible child a place and for further information, please book Here

 

Anyone with any queries on the programme can email HAF@lancaster.gov.uk and someone will be in touch.
