Holiday activities
Camden free holiday activities and food (HAF) Easter programme
Funded by the Department for Education and Camden Council, the HAF programme offers free holiday activities, enriching experiences and healthy meals for school‑aged children who receive Free School Meals.
Up to 15% of places can be offered to children and young people not on FSM but who would benefit due to other priority vulnerability factors (children with a social worker, children with SEND, young carers, NRPF/asylum, persistently absent from school).
Families can book here: Camden Easter HAF Programme 2026.
