As the festive season approaches, we are pleased to announce the launch of the Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) programme, aimed at providing fun, engaging activities and nutritious meals for children and young people during the Christmas holiday period.

This initiative, funded by the Department for Education, offers a diverse range of activities to school age children throughout the holidays. The winter offer includes face to face activity sessions and several remote options where eligible families can access food parcels and activity packs. 

Running from Friday 20 December to Tuesday 7 January, 39 organisations across Westmorland and Furness will be delivering a HAF programme with over 2500 spaces available.

Eligible families can find out what is available near them on the council website. Spaces are limited, so early registration is encouraged to secure a spot
