HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES & FOOD PROGRAMME

We are proud to be working in partnership with Essex County Council and Staffordshire County Council & the Department for Education to provide the Holiday Activity and Food Programme at various venues across the country during the school holidays.

What is HAF?

The Holiday, Activities and Food Programme is a Government funded scheme that aims to provide childcare and nutritional meals to school aged children from disadvantaged families during the school holidays.

Children will be able to take part in a wide variety of positive mindfulness and mindset activities led by our Mindset Mentor team during each camp, whilst receiving a nutritious, school standard meal and healthy snacks.

As a trusted delivery partner, MiniMe Mindfulness® will be offering free spaces to children aged between 5 – 11 that meet the schemes criteria.

Is my child eligible for a free/funded space at one of the MiniMe Mindfulness® HAF camps?

To be eligible for a free/funded space on one of our HAF camps children must meet one or more of the following criteria:

Eligible for free school meals (In which case parents should have received a code to use from their child’s school when booking).

From low income, working families who would benefit from this support.

Please contact your local county council HAF Team or email info@minimemindfulness.co.uk to discuss options if you are unsure.

How to book?

If you are eligible for free school meals and haven’t received your code and booking information, please speak to your School to get access to this.
