Shropshire Summer Holiday Fund and Food Programme 2025!

Shropshire Council are delighted to announce that bookings for the Shropshire Summer HAF (Holiday Activities & Food) Programme are now open.

Who can access the HAF programme?

Core Eligibility: Children and young people aged 4 (in reception class) to 16 who are in receipt of benefits related free school meals.

These children and young people will automatically receive a code and information about how to book onto a holiday club from their school.

Wider Eligibility: Children and young people living in areas of high deprivation (top five tiers of deprivation, based on indices of deprivation/income) and/or from low-income households who are not in receipt of benefits related free school meals.

These children and young people can be referred onto the programme by a professional, by completing a referral form.

Paid Places

Many of the HAF programmes also include paid places for children and young people who don’t meet the eligibility criteria. These spaces are generally very heavily subsidised and have been highlighted in the What’s On Guide.
