Holiday Activities and Food programme (HAF) South Tees
What is Bring It On?
Bring It On! Is the name for the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme in Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland.
We run Bring It On! During the school holidays to offer free, fun activities and meals for children and young people aged 5 to 16 years, who are in receipt of benefits-related free school meals. We know that school holidays can sometimes be a difficult time for families, and the HAF programme is here to help.
If your child is aged 5 to 16 and is in receipt of benefits-related free school meals, you can book a place for them. Just use the links below to go to our booking system.
