Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme

The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme – named ‘Wear Here 4’ in Sunderland – is a Department for Education funded programme delivered locally and providing fun, enriching activities and tasty, nutritious meals during school holidays.

Wear Here 4 Spring, Summer and Winter programmes provide school aged children with an opportunity to get involved in a range of activities centred around sports, culture, arts and learning, as well as providing healthy meals and activities based on developing cooking skills and knowledge about nutrition, that families can use at home. Young people also get the chance to socialise with friends and make new ones, with children across the city coming together to get involved. 

With more clubs and an ever-growing range of activities and provision. there is something for everyone. From sports to dance, crafts, outdoor fun and there is even a spot of science.

Funding for the programme has been provided from the Department for Education (DfE) to Together for Children for families eligible for Free School Meals.
