The HAF programme is funded by the Department for Education to provide additional support to eligible families to access holiday activities.

Activities taking place during Christmas 2021

The Council will be delivering its Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme for children and young people during December.

The HAF Programme supports families who may otherwise find the holiday season particularly challenging, by providing fun and engaging activities along with a healthy nutritious meal during the session. 

Sutton Council has worked closely with its partners, schools, voluntary organisations and childcare providers to bring together a free programme of events for children and young people aged 5 to 16 and who are receiving benefits-related free school meals. In addition to the many festive activities, eligible children and young people will receive ‘Take and Make’ Boxes containing a recipe which they can cook with their family.

For more information about the HAF Programme and to book a place for your child, visit www.sutton.gov.uk/HAF 

There are lots of activities for the younger ones taking place over the Christmas season – find out what’s on and book tickets.
