HAF Project – Christmas 2025

Please note: The details on this page apply to the Christmas Holidays ONLY.

This government-funded Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) provision is for school-aged children from Reception to Year 11 (inclusive) who receive benefit-related free school meals.

Benefit-related free school meals (FSM) are only available to pupils if their parents/carers are in receipt of one of the qualifying benefits, and have a claim verified by their school or local authority.

To book a funded HAF place at our camps, find the details for your local authority below.

PLEASE CHECK HOW MANY FUNDED DAYS AND HOURS YOU ARE ENTITLED TO. ANY ADDITIONAL HOURS/SESSIONS YOU REQUIRE MUST BE PAID FOR. 

If you need to book and pay for additional sessions, please do this in a separate booking from your funded HAF days. Please contact bookings@funtastickids.co.uk for part bookings (for example, if you would like to pay for extra hours to be added to a HAF funded day).

You are unable to use your HAF code across all boroughs. You can only use the HAF code for Holiday Camps located in the borough that provided it to you.

PLEASE NOTE THE COMPANY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DECLINE OR CANCEL ANY HAF BOOKING SHOULD YOU HAVE AN OUTSTANDING DEBT WITH US.

Please inform us if your child has any additional needs and fill in an All About Me form (see bottom of this webpage). Forms can be emailed to bookings@funtastickids.co.uk or brought to camp with you.
