East Riding of Yorkshire Council’s Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Christmas 2024 grant scheme

The scheme is now launched supporting providers to deliver fun activities for children and young people aged 5-16 years who are in receipt of benefits related free school meals (FSM) in the Christmas school holidays. There’s up to £5,000 available for organisations to provide activities including sport, play, drama, cooking, crafts, dance, music, healthy lifestyles, art or outdoor adventures. Funding can be spent on management and delivery staff, venues, equipment, volunteer expenses, food, marketing, trips, capital resources, etc.

HAF monies can fully fund programmes solely for eligible children and young people who go to school in the East Riding or part-fund FSM places on sessions for everyone. A meal is to be provided each time pupils attend, and all sessions should be 4 hours long, but recognise that shorter sessions for secondary school-aged pupils may be more beneficial. Organisations can apply for funding for just one event or a series of sessions.

Organisations need to adhere to our minimum operating standards which include

· All staff and volunteers must hold a valid DBS and have undertaken safeguarding training

· A qualified first aider must be present when delivering the programme

· Activities and venues are assessed, with measures put in place to manage identified risks

· All staff to adhere to their organisation’s governance (safeguarding, safer recruitment, equality, privacy and health & safety policies)

· Holds public and employer’s liability insurance to a sum of 5 million.

With the rise in the cost of living, HAF enables families to enjoy a healthy meal and enriching activities for free across the East Riding.

Christmas 2024 grant deadline: 7th October 2024 at noon https://eastridingofyorkshirecouncil.flexigrant.com/startapplication.aspx?id=13425
