Holiday Activity and Food Programme

This summer, Stroud District Council has teamed up with local organisations to provide free activities and events for children and teenagers that are eligible for free school meals.

What’s involved?

The Holiday Activity and Food Programme (HAF) has a range of great activities for children of all ages. From football camps, crafting and circus skills workshops to swimming passes and paddleboarding, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

All activities are taking place between Monday 2 August and Friday 27 August, keeping kids entertained, active, safe and fed. 

For all the latest updates, follow the HAF Stroud District Facebook and Instagram pages.

Activities for all

The HAF is funded by the Department of Education, who determine who is eligible to take part. However, in recognition of the hardships many families have faced over the last 15 months, Stroud District Council has funded a number of activities for ALL families with no eligibility criteria.

From free swim sessions to DJ lessons and creative journaling workshops, with more activities being added throughout the summer, there's something for every child to enjoy.
