The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme is a government-funded initiative designed to support children during school holidays. It aims to provide both enriching activities and healthy meals for children, particularly those from low-income families. By offering a structured schedule of activities and ensuring children receive nutritious meals, the HAF Programme addresses two significant concerns during school breaks: hunger and lack of engagement.
At RB Holiday Camps, we are proud to be a part of this initiative, helping children stay active, learn new skills, and have fun. Our camps offer a safe, inclusive space where children can participate in a wide range of activities, making the most of their holidays while benefiting from the HAF Programme’s support.
The HAF Programme primarily supports children who are eligible for free school meals. Local authorities work with schools and organisations like RB Holiday Camps to identify families who would benefit the most. However, some councils may open up places to other children who could benefit from the scheme, depending on available spaces and local priorities.
At RB Holiday Camps, we encourage families to check their eligibility or reach out to us for assistance in registering. We aim to ensure that every child who qualifies can access the enriching activities and food provided by the HAF Programme.
The school holidays can be a challenging time for many families. Without the regular structure of school, parents often struggle to keep their children occupied and engaged. Additionally, providing consistent meals, particularly for low-income families, can be a burden. The HAF Programme offers a solution by providing access to high-quality, structured activities, as well as nutritious meals.
At RB Holiday Camps, we understand the importance of both physical and mental well-being for children. Our activities range from team games to arts and crafts, all designed to help children stay active, make friends, and enjoy their time off. By participating in the HAF Programme, families can ensure their children have a safe, supportive environment during the holidays.
At RB Holiday Camps, we pride ourselves on offering a unique experience as part of the HAF Programme. Our camps are Ofsted registered, ensuring the highest standards of safety and care. With a wide variety of activities, we cater to children with diverse interests, from sports enthusiasts to those who enjoy arts and crafts.
Our experienced and caring staff are trained to provide a supportive and welcoming environment for every child. With years of experience running successful camps, we have built a reputation for delivering fun, engaging, and meaningful experiences during the holidays.
Children attending RB Holiday Camps as part of the HAF Programme can look forward to a diverse range of activities.
Our camps offer:
- Multi-sports activities, including football, basketball, and tennis, which keep children physically active and teach valuable teamwork skills.
- Arts and crafts, allowing children to express their creativity and develop fine motor skills.
- Team games that help build friendships, improve communication, and develop problem-solving abilities.
These activities are not only fun but are also designed to promote physical health, emotional well-being, and cognitive development. Whether your child loves sports or enjoys artistic expression, our camps provide something for everyone.

We offer HAF-supported camps at multiple venues across the West Midlands, ensuring accessibility for as many families as possible.
Some of our popular venues include:
- Hallfield School in Edgbaston
- Hurst Green Primary in Halesowen
- St Catherines Primary in Kidderminster
Each of these venues offers a variety of activities and is staffed by fully trained, friendly professionals who are dedicated to making the camps a positive experience for every child.
For many low-income families, school holidays can be a difficult time. With children at home, the cost of food and entertainment increases, which can add stress to an already challenging situation. The HAF Programme offers vital support by providing free meals and activities, alleviating financial pressure and ensuring that children receive the nutrition and engagement they need during holidays.
The HAF Programme is a fantastic opportunity for children to stay active, engaged, and well-fed during the school holidays. At RB Holiday Camps, we are proud to deliver high-quality activities and care through this initiative, ensuring that every child can make the most of their time off school.
