Free half-term activities and healthy meals available for eligible Bury families
Bury families are being encouraged to make the most of an expanded Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme this half term, offering free activities, healthy meals and enriching experiences for eligible children and young people.
The HAF Programme is funded by the UK Government and co-ordinated locally by Bury Council. It supports children and young people who receive benefits-related Free School Meals, helping them stay active, socialise with friends and access nutritious food during the school holidays.
To support families during the holidays, Bury Council has expanded its HAF Programme, creating more opportunities for children and young people to take part in a wide range of activities and experiences across the borough.
The programme offers everything from sports, arts and crafts, outdoor activities and wellbeing sessions to opportunities to learn new skills, make friends and have fun in a safe and supportive environment.
