What is HAF?

HAF is a national Department for Education funded programme aimed at enabling children and young people to attend activities and experiences in the Christmas, Easter and Summer school holidays. It is all free for eligible children and young people. Coventry’s HAF programme is delivered by a wide range of organisations across the City.

Nationally HAF is making a difference to the quality of holiday experiences for children and young people, and this has a positive impact as they return to school in the Autumn term.
