Dudley HAF - Children's Holiday Activities

SEND Activities

We provide free school holiday activities and food for children aged 5-16 who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals and other vulnerable groups.

Keeping your child happy and fulfilled during the holidays can be a challenge; and we want to support parents and carers.

Funded by the Department of Education and hosted by Dudley Council, we work with local organisations to provide a variety of exciting activities and clubs for kids as well as providing a healthy meal or snack at each session they attend.

Non Free School Meals

In line with Department for Education guidelines, the HAF Programme is primarily for children in receipt of benefits related Free School Meals. Some providers will offer a limited number of places available for non-FSM children who would otherwise be considered vulnerable, however due to overall capacity of the programme, these places are limited and not guaranteed.

Examples of children who might be able to register are:

  • Those receiving free school meals from households with No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF​)
  • Children and young people aged 5-19 with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) and/or children and young people aged 5-19 with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) or additional needs,
