HAF programme: HAF you got all the details?

Free places at our Berkshire holiday clubs with the HAF programme

The Holiday, Activities and Food Programme (HAF programme) helps parents find free activities in their area during the school holidays. 

If your child:

 

  • receives free school meals
  • is between Reception age and 11

 

you can use the HAF funding to help with your childcare needs in the holidays. 

It's available during the Easter, summer and Christmas holidays. You get:

 

  • 2 x 6-hour sessions per week for 1 week at Easter
  • 4 weeks in the summer
  • 1 week at Christmas

 

At one of our holiday clubs, your children get to enjoy a day of sporty activities and a healthy meal's included. 

Where you can find our HAF programme holiday clubs

Our Wokingham, Crowthorne and Twyford holiday clubs are all registered with the Wokingham Borough Council HAF programme:

 

  • Wokingham - St Paul's Primary School
  • Crowthorne - Oaklands Junior School
  • Twyford - Colleton Primary School

 

How to book a HAF holiday club space

When you're registered for free school meals with the council, you'll get an email from them with a booking link and a voucher from the HAF programme.

If you need any help to find your voucher code or to access the booking system, email haf@wokingham.gov.uk

If you don't currently receive free school meals, but think you should do, you can visit the government website to apply.

Testimonials

  • Jake has now run my son's birthday party for the third year in a row! He will not accept anything else other than a ‘Jake Birthday Party’. Each party is different and it exactly what my son wants. Loads of fun with all of his friends! Couldn’t recommend anymore.

    Joanne - Parent

  • My young girl has come to the Multi Skills after school sessions since she was 5 years old! 6 years later, she is still loving the sessions with Jack. They are so engaging and all of the children have such a good time.

    Andrew - Parent

  • My boys have been attending the Soccer Saturday session for a few years now and they have loved every single second of it. No matter the weather, the Soccerin Schools staff are there with a big smile on their face, ready to provide all of the kids with a brilliant introduction to football.

    Harvey - Parent

  • Jake and his team have been running Pre School sessions in our nursery for a number of years. The kids are so engaged and love it when Jake arrives! Would highly recommend Soccerin Schools to anyone.

    Amanda - Pre School Manager

  • Jack, Jake and the rest of the coaching staff have provided PE sessions in our school for many terms now. The games are inclusive for all and provide the children with the chance to play sport in a pressure free and safe environment. Each Summer, the team run a sports day for us, also known as the Mini Olympics! Jack and Jake put so much effort into the planning of this day and it shows!
