Nottinghamshire County Council is thrilled to announce that funding for the Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) Programme will continue in 2026, with a commitment from the Department for Education for three years funding.
This means that children across the county will once again have access to engaging activities and nutritious meals during the school holidays.
Mark your calendars! From Friday 27th February, 7am, families can book their places for the Easter holiday clubs. More information can be found via their website Activities and venues | Nottinghamshire County Council and the handbook:
