Peterborough free summer holiday activity places available

Primary and secondary school-aged children in Peterborough who receive free school meals are eligible to receive a place.

The scheme is part of Peterborough City Council's Summer Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF).

The programme aims to give children who have free school meals plenty of activities and healthy food throughout the holidays - at no cost to the family.

The scheme includes children with special educational needs and disabilities who receive free school meals too.

In the summer holidays eligible children can get up to 16 four-hour activity sessions, which include football, gymnastics, and arts and crafts to name a few. All of the seasons will include a healthy meal too.

Children and young people must either live in Peterborough or attend a Peterborough school.

To book onto the activities, you can go online to the HAF website, which has a list of all of the activities taking place and a link to book them. Click here to access the HAF website.

John Gregg, Director of Children's Services, said: "We have nearly 1,500 sessions available across 45 venues. Children will be provided with healthy food and activities and will be able to socialise with other children and give them the opportunity to try out new things.

"If your child is eligible, I'd encourage you to have a look what is on offer near you.

"If you have children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), have a look at the website and call those providers you are interested in to see what they can offer you and your child, or email the HAF team who can help."
