Activities for young people in Newham

Holiday Activities and Food programme (HAF)

Discover fun activities for children and young people (four to 16 years of age), including those with special educational needs (SEND, up to 18) happening in Newham, over the Easter school holidays.

Funded by the Department of Education for families in receipt of Pupil Premium (means tested free school meals), a range of local clubs across Newham are providing opportunities for your child/young person to meet new friends, learn something new, stay active and eat a nutritious meal during the Easter school holiday. Activities include multi sports, arts and crafts, drama, cookery and much more, to suit different ages, abilities and interests. 

All holiday clubs are inclusive for children with low levels of SEN and/or disability, who can participate in universal settings. We also have specialist programmes for those children and young people who require specialist support. Each club will assess their suitability to provide sufficient support, based on your child/young person’s needs on a case-by-case basis.

To book a place, click on the list of HAF clubs and follow their registration instructions. You can contact our providers directly for further information on their programme, please use their contact details contained within their listing if you have any queries.

Places are allocated on a first come, first serve basis. Please be mindful when booking provision for your child/young person, as spaces are limited and therefore booking a space which is not used, could result in someone missing out on the opportunity to attend. Children/young people who fail to attend twice without notifying the provider, will have the remainder of their bookings cancelled and the space will be offered to someone on the waiting list.  
If you have any queries about the programme that are not related to booking, please email HAF@newham.gov.uk.
