Schools, clubs, voluntary and community groups across Herefordshire are invited to apply for funding to deliver fun, enriching activities with meals during the Winter 2025 school holidays.

The Here for Herefordshire Holidays (HAF) programme is funded by the Department for Education and provides children who receive benefits-related free school meals with access to exciting holiday opportunities. Activities should encourage children and young people to get active, learn new skills, and enjoy healthy food in a supportive environment.

This is a fantastic opportunity for providers to make a real difference to local families by helping children stay engaged, active and well-nourished during the school break.

The deadline for applications is Sunday 5 October 2025.Find full details and how to apply on the Herefordshire Council website.
