Dear Parent or Guardian,

The Easter HAF programme starts on the 30^th March with free activities, and a meal, for every eligible child that attends. Children and young people, from reception to age 16, who are eligible for benefits related free school meals, will be able to access hundreds of activities throughout the Easter break including SEND specific provision.  There’s a great range of activities across the city including Easter Egg Hunts, Easter egg decorating, Easter bonnet making, trips out, dance, rock climbing, cooking, STEM‑style challenges, make up sessions, golf, cycling, gymnastics, circus skills and virtual reality plus much, much more.

There is a central booking system to make it easier for you to find and book the activities. You can find out where your nearest scheme is by clicking on this link https://eequ.org/liverpoolhaf or using the QR code which will take you to the Liverpool HAF page and the easy to fill in booking system.  You can search by age, provider or date.

Liverpool City Council is working with Mersey Play Action Council, the local schools, voluntary and community organisations, and childcare providers to deliver the Easter HAF programme.  This programme is funded by the Department for Education.

The Family Information and SEND Directory also provides lots of useful information and support for families - FISD.
