Free holiday activities

The Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) Programme is free to children and young people who live or go to school in Barking and Dagenham and are eligible for benefit-related free school meals, with paid places available for everyone.

This Summer get involved with our HAF Programme. We have a range of organisations providing fun, enriching, and healthy activities across Barking and Dagenham. Each activity will provide a healthy hot meal, keep children active, while making friends and having fun.

The Summer holiday programmes are open to all school-age children from 5-16 years old. 

Free spaces and fee-paying spaces are available.  Parents and carers throughout Barking & Dagenham may be eligible for tax free childcare.

Booking is essential on all activities so book early to avoid disappointment.

For any queries, please contact: hafprogramme@lbbd.gov.uk
