Tell me more about the HAF programme

Since 2018, our holiday activities and food programme (HAF) has provided support to children in who receive free school meals through holiday periods.

The programme is funded by a grant to local authorities by the Department for Education based on the number of children eligible in that area.

Some local authorities will coordinate the programme themselves, and others may choose to work with another organisation to coordinate the provision on their behalf.

In Birmingham, the programme is known locally as Bring it on Brum.

Birmingham City Council have commissioned Streetgames to coordinate HAF on their behalf.
