WF Happy Healthy HolidaysWe are excited to announce that we have loads of fun activities happening this Winter as part of our WF Happy Healthy Holidays programme. Wakefield Council are working with over thirty voluntary and community organisations, local schools and childcare providers to provide a Christmas of free activities and food for children and families eligible for income – related free school meals throughout the district. There are free places available
for any children and young people (aged 5-16) who are eligible for income based free school meals. This opportunity is provided as part of the government’s expanded Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme.
What Activities are Available?There are lots of activities on offer including dance workshops, day trips, board games, arts and crafts, sports activities, cooking, food and nutrition activities, and much more!
How Can I Book a Place?If your child is eligible for Income Based Free School Meals please visit our website:
https://www.wakefieldfamiliestogether.co.uk/community-support/happy-healthy-holidays/You will find a link to the booking site, which will go live on Friday 17th November. Please do check back as new activities / places may be added over the coming days. If you do not have access to the internet, a valid email address or a smartphone please contact your school who can provide information on the activities running in your area and will be able to provide contact information so you can contact the provider directly and they can make the booking(s) on your behalf.
If your child requires extra support due to SEND needs or any other, please have a conversation with the provider in the first instance to ensure that they are able to support your child’s needs at the session.
