HAF is back this summer to provide more funded activities and delicious food for children in reception to year 11 who receive benefits-related free school meals.

We are moving to our new Family Hubs Booking Systems

This means the previous CABS system will no longer be used to book HAF activities. Make sure you’re ready to book activities by registering to our new system now.

Great news

We have also been able to extend our offer once again to provide funded HAP activities, that are available to all children in Gloucestershire. All activities will be marked either ‘HAF’ or ‘HAP’ to let you know the availability.

Many exciting opportunities will be on offer, including gymnastics, football, arts and crafts, forest skills, coding and much more!

Plus, we are very excited to announce that there will be a HAF summer fun day in each district this holiday season.

Be sure to follow your district on social media to ensure you’re up to date on information and events.
