About Healthy Holidays
The Healthy Holidays Programme helps children and young people during school holidays. It aims to stop hunger, loneliness and boredom.
Who the programme is for
The programme is mainly for children at primary and secondary school who get free school meals because of family income. Children with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND) can also join.
Most children in the programme get free school meals, but some places are for children who need extra support for other reasons.
The programme runs in end-of-term holidays, not in half-term breaks.
