Children will be given a healthy meal during the session, in line with their dietary requirements.
Sessions are for children aged 4-12 years old and are for children only.
2. How to book children on to our Winter HAF sessions?
For our Winter HAF sessions, we are only accepting online bookings. Numbers are limited.
To book, please click here: https://bookings.thehubbfoundation.com/, the bookings for our Winter HAF Sessions are managed by The Hubb Foundation.
Due to our sessions being very busy, we recommend only attending sessions, if you have booked online, as we are unable to guarantee entry, to those who have not pre-booked.
*Please note for HAF-funded sessions, we will be prioritising children eligible for free school meals, in the first instance.
3. How much do sessions cost?
4. What is HAF?
The Holiday Activity Fund, is a Government initiative to support low income families, during Easter, Summer and Christmas holidays.
This holiday provision is for school aged children from reception to year 11 (inclusive) who receive benefits-related free school meals.
Benefits-related free school meals (FSM) are available to pupils if their parents are in receipt of one of the qualifying benefits, and have a claim verified by their school or local authority.
When we receive HAF funding for our holiday sessions, sessions will always be FREE.
More information regarding HAF can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/holiday-activities-and-food-programme/holiday-activities-and-food-programme-2021
5. Do parents/carers attend with their child?
6. My child has a support need and requires a 121 with staff?
We would love to support children with 121’s, however we are not able to provide this support currently.
If we find you have given false information, regarding the support needs of your child, staff have the right to ask you to come and collect your child immediately from the session and have the right to refrain you from booking your child/children on to any of our future sessions.
7. How we use your data?
We ask for personal details, so we are aware of any medical, health and support needs, to help keep children safe at our sessions and to ensure their needs are met safely. Parent/Carer details are taken, in case of an emergency.
Data is only passed on to any third party organisations regarding funding requirements or if there is a safeguarding issue. For our Winter HAF Sessions, all personal details and any safeguarding issues will be shared with The Hubb Foundation.
You can read more about how we use your data here.

13. How do I make a complaint about a HAF Session?
If your child is not between the ages of 4-12 years old, WE ARE NOT INSURED!
Our staff have the right to ask for proof of age for children, refuse entry, or ask you to come and collect your child immediately, if we find that children are not within the 4-12 years age range.
Unfortunately, we have had many families giving false information, regarding the age of children.
You are putting our organisation at risk as we are not insured! We will not tolerate this and will take the appropriate action.
