Holiday Activities and Food (HAF), previously known as the Fit, Fed and Read programme, will be working in partnership with London Borough of Redbridge. The programme HAF offers an online holiday activity and food programme to children who are eligible for Free School Meals in the Easter holidays 2021.
Sessions will include:
- Physical activity including dance
- Enriching activities such as reading, art or drama
- Learning about nutrition and how to prepare food
Sessions will take place on Zoom for two hours per day, four days a week between Monday 5 April and Friday 16 April 2021. Primary school children will join in the mornings and secondary school children will take part in the afternoons.
The holiday programme aims to help children to learn new skills, try a variety of sports, arts and crafts and fun activities via Zoom from the comfort of their own homes. Children will also get to listen to fun stories, learn about nutrition and take part in a range of book themed activities.
We aim to help children get active and learn about healthy eating, helping them to look after their health for the future.
Children will be provided with the things they need to do these activities at home, as well as the food to cook four healthy meals each across the holidays.
Entry criteria:
- Eligible for Free School Meals
- Aged 5-16 years
Redbridge schools will be asked to share details of the Programme and how to apply for a place to eligible families in March 2021. If you haven’t received information from the school and believe your child is eligible, please email find@redbridge.gov.uk.
