Bookings are now open for Camden's Winter Holiday Activities and Food Programme. The HAF Programme offers free enriching activities and food during the spring, summer and winter school holidays for eligible 5 to 16 year-olds.

For a free space, children must be in Reception to Year 11, be receiving benefits-related free school meals, live in Camden or attend school in the borough. 

The Winter HAF Programme runs from Monday 22 December 2025 to Friday 2 January 2026, offering free, fun activities and nutritional education - from learning to make healthy meals, to creative and educational activities, including photography, drama, storytelling, arts and crafts, and sports such as football and basketball. A free hot meal is included as part of each day’s activities.

The programme is co-ordinated locally by Young Camden Foundation on behalf of Camden Council, with funding from the Department for Education.
