Shropshire Council is working with local schools, voluntary groups and community organisations, and childcare providers to run an exciting holiday programme this winter, Shropshire HAF (Holiday Activities and Food).
There are free places available on the programme for children and young people aged 4 (reception class age) to 16, who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals and for those who were referred to HAF by a professional. Places are also available for Ukrainian families, currently living in Shropshire with host families.
From Monday 19 December to Friday 23 December 2022 children and young people are invited to participate in a wide range of fun activities, taking place at 43 venues across the county.
There's something for all, including sports, arts, cooking, forest schools and other exciting opportunities. Free nutritious meals will be provided at each session, plus information on nutrition to designed to benefit the whole family.

Some of the holiday programmes also include spaces for children and young people who are not in receipt of free school meals.
Kirstie Hurst-Knight, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for children and education, said:- “Over the summer 3,500 eligible children and young people aged 4 to 16 took part in a wide range of exciting, engaging activities at 60 venues across Shropshire.
"Again, providers have created a fantastic offering for the winter provision, and I’d like to encourage all eligible families to book onto HAF and have fun this winter. There's a massive range of activities, with free meals provided at each session.”
