The programme recognises the challenges facing children, young people and families following the Covid pandemic and as a result of the current cost-of-living crisis. 

By collaborating with over 80 community, voluntary, leisure, and private organisations the Holiday and Activity and Food scheme (HAF) provides children and young people, in receipt of free school meals, the opportunity to access free summer holiday activities across 140 venues in the city. The programme provides, healthy and nutritious meals, fun physical activities, places to be social and feel safe, with opportunities to take part in engaging and enriching activities which support the development of resilience, character and wellbeing along with their wider educational attainment
