The Royal Borough of Greenwich’s Holiday Food and Fun (HAF) programme provides free, enriching activities and nutritious meals during the school holidays.
Funded by the Department for Education, the programme supports families by making sure children and young people can stay active, social, and well-nourished outside of term time.
Our summer programme runs from Tuesday 21 July to Friday 28 August 2026.
Who can take part
Your child may be eligible if they:
- receive benefits-related free school meals (FSM)
- live or attend school in the borough
- are aged 4 to 16
We aim to make activities as inclusive as possible. Many providers can adapt sessions to support children with additional needs. You can check the event listings for each club to see their SEND provision. Make sure to include information about your child’s needs when you register.
Organisations offer some places for children that are not eligible for benefits-related free school meals. Email holiday-programme@royalgreenwich.gov.uk or contact the organisation directly to request an eligibility code.
How to book
To book activities, you’ll need to use our online booking system:
- Create an account
- Add a profile for each child
- Include your booking code
You will have been sent a booking code if your child is eligible for benefits-related free school meals.
If you do not have your code or cannot find it:
- check that your child is eligible
- take a screenshot of the message confirming eligibility
- send the screenshot to holiday-programme@royalgreenwich.gov.uk with the subject line ‘eligibility code request’
How to cancel a booking
If your plans change, cancel your booking as soon as possible.
We ask for at least 2 days notice so your place can be offered to another child.
