Bromley holiday activities and food programme
Bromley’s Holiday, Activities and Food programme (HAF) provides free holiday club places, including activities and healthy meals outside of term time, for eligible families with children and young people aged between 5 to 16 years old.
Our programme allows children and young people to enjoy fun and enriching activities that will enable them to develop new skills, build confidence and meet new friends. Each session will allow your child to take part in some form of physical activity as well as creative and educational tasks. They will also learn about the nutritional aspect of the food they eat, whilst enjoying a free nutritious meal each day.
Since the initial pilot in 2021 our HAF programmes have been a remarkable success and we look forward to updating you on what we have to offer in the year 2024.
The HAF programme runs during the Easter, Summer, and Christmas holidays only.
