Children, young people and families across York are continuing to benefit from fun activities and healthy meals during the Easter holidays thanks to an extension of the Government’s HAF programme for 2025.
The programme provides free school holiday activities and nutritious meals for targeted children.
In York, the sessions include a variety of fun activities, including sports, music, arts and other exciting opportunities to learn and develop skills.
York’s HAF scheme has provided over 6,200 activity sessions across the city in 36 locations with a wide range of activities to appeal to all.
Families who are eligible to receive the HAF offer receive their vouchers from their child's school. Parents and carers will receive a voucher for each child, sent individually from their child’s school.
Cllr Bob Webb, the council’s Executive Member for Children, Young People and Education, said:
“The holiday sessions are a source of great support and enjoyment to many children and young people and I’m pleased that families across the city are benefiting from them once again during the Easter holidays.”
More information about the local HAF scheme and details about food available in the local community is available at www.raiseyork.co.uk/HAF.
