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.
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.
HAF vouchers for the Summer holiday will be sent on Monday 23rd June 2025 to all HAF eligible families by email or text from hello@holidayactivities.com.
HAF Guidance
Who will get a HAF voucher?
To access a free HAF voucher your child needs to be eligible for benefits related free school meals. If you are not sure ask your child’s school.
Not eligible for free school meals
We can use 15% of the funding for HAF places for children who are not on free school meals
and whose parents struggle to pay for holiday activities. Schools have received guidance on who this applies to and they will be able to help you
Make a booking
You will need a voucher to register and book a place. We have provided a short overview of the HAF clubs in Fylde below so that you can see what is available before you click on the link in the voucher to make a booking on your chosen club.

Activities outside of your school district

If your child needs to attend a club in another district, you can request for the voucher to be transferred. You must request this before you have booked any places.
