HELP PAYING FOR YOUR CHILDCARE & FREE HAF SPACES
Receive support with your childcare costs via HAF Funded Spaces; Tax Free Childcare and Universal Credit Schemes
Latest Information: HAF registration process for this Christmas 2024!
After the October Half Term, Hampshire County Council will be inviting eligible families to sign up for free school holiday clubs over the summer holidays, as part of the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) scheme. All bookings will require children accessing benefit-related free school meal (FSM) support to be registered with the council ahead of booking and attending schemes. By registering, you will receive a unique code that can be used to book places for our scheme(s). If you received a unique code in the summer, you do not need to register for a new code.
Q: How do I book a space once I’ve got my code?
Once you have your code, send us a message using the link below and we will email you our registration link. Availability is VERY limited, and spaces will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
