Liverpool City Council - Summer Activities

Posted 15th July 2024

Information from Liverpool City Council regarding assistance over the summer -

Dear Parent or Guardian

The Summer HAF programme starts on the 22nd July and there are lots of great activities happening over the school holidays. Children and young people, from reception to age 16, who are eligible for benefits related free school meals, will be able to access hundreds of activities throughout the Summer holidays including specific provision available for children with SEND or additional needs, at no cost. There’s a great range of activities across the city including zorbing, garden fun, bubble football, nerf wars, mindfulness, swimming, football, music, dance, cycling, gymnastics, theatre tech, cooking, discos, podcasting, arts and crafts, drama, basketball, trips out and nature walks! A meal will be provided for every child attending.

We have introduced a new central booking system to make it easier for you to find and book the activities. You can find out where your nearest scheme is by clicking on this link https://eequ.org/liverpoolhaf which will take you to the Liverpool HAF page and the easy to fill in booking system. You can search by age, provider or date. There is a handy booking help video here - How to make a booking

  • If you’re more than 10 weeks pregnant or have a child under 4, you may be entitled to get help to buy healthy food and milk. Click on the link to find out how to register https://www.healthystart.nhs.uk/

Liverpool City Council is working with Mersey Play Action Council, the local schools, voluntary and community organisations, and childcare providers to deliver the Summer HAF programme. This programme is funded by the Department for Education.

The Family Information and SEND Directory also provides a wealth of useful information and support for families - FISD.
