Fylde Council is delighted to announce the return of its much-loved Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme for the 2025 summer holidays.
Funded by the Department of Education, this fantastic initiative provides free holiday club places for eligible school-aged children from Reception to Year 11 who receive benefits-related free school meals.
The programme also provides limited places for secondary-aged children through the Lancashire Targeted Youth Service.
This summer, the HAF programme is bigger and better than ever, with even more clubs and activities to choose from. Whether your child enjoys sports, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures or fun games, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Each session includes a nutritious lunch, along with a range of fruit and snacks to keep children fuelled throughout the day.
Councillor Chris Dixon, Lead Member for Social Wellbeing, commented: “We’re thrilled to expand our HAF programme, which continues to be a lifeline for many families across Fylde. Our goal is not just to provide fun activities and meals, but to create enriching experiences that support children’s physical and mental wellbeing during the school break while easing pressure on household budgets.”
Eligible families will receive their HAF vouchers on Monday 23 June when the booking system goes live. Places are limited, so early booking is strongly encouraged.
Parents who believe they qualify but have yet to receive a voucher should contact their child’s school directly.
For full details about the summer HAF Programme, including activity locations, schedules, and booking instructions, please visit our dedicated webpage.

Let’s make this summer one to remember!
