The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme which is funded by the Department for Education.

HAF is back and ready to give little ones and teens a fantastic experience over the Easter holidays. You will find Local Authority holiday provider details in the links below.

The Local Authority have 2 SEND specific providers – Autisk and Active Communities Experiences but all of their clubs are inclusive and will support your child to access their club or will help you to identify a suitable alternative.

Autisk are also running a 1:1 HAF club where children who require 1:1 supervision to participate can access a holiday club. This is by referral only, please contact either Mrs Keleher or Mrs Ellinson to complete this referral.

Please can I also remind families that Jan from Autisk UK will be attending our next SEND coffee morning, 9am on 20.04.23, to give more information on what the group offers for our young people.

They are also running the following groups:

• Offerton Childcare – runs from Stockport Lads Club on Hempshaw Lane 9am-6pm
• Stockport County Foundation Trust – runs from Dial Park Primary School on Half Moon Lane 10am-3pm (FOR EASTER ONLY)

To be eligible for a free place, children must receive benefits related free school meals.

If you think you might be eligible for benefits related free school meals, but do not currently claim them, you can find information about how to apply on our free school meals web page (https://www.stockport.gov.uk/free-school-meals).

Additional information can be found on the HAF programme. If you have any questions about the programme or if your child does not receive free school meals but you feel that you need to access a free place, you can email the HAF team on HAF@Stockport.gov.uk.
