Overview
Throughout the year, we work with the local authorities in Hampshire, Southampton, Portsmouth, West Sussex, Brighton & Hove, and Wiltshire to provide thousands of free to access camp places for children across the south funded by the HAF programme, since 2021. If your child is eligible for benefit related free school meals, then you’re able to book on to this programme.
By attending one of our HAF camps, children can expect a day full of activities, games and arts and crafts!
During the holiday periods where the HAF programme is not running, we run our own Community Support Programme. This provides additional free to access places on our camps, directly funded by us as part of our social enterprise initiative.
Important update:
For this summer Hampshire County Council (HCC) are introducing a new registration process for families to access a unique HAF code for each benefit-related FSM eligible child. This code can then be used to make bookings directly with us.
The process is quick and easy. Simply click here and complete the form, adding basic details about your child and yourself and then add a contact email address. You will then receive confirmation of your eligibility for the programme, and a unique registration code to use when booking, if eligible.
