School holiday activities 

Cheshire East has a wide range of activities that residents are able to access in their local community or area. Many are provided through voluntary, community or faith organisations, who can also provide mutual help and support, and taking part in community activities can help people to become part of their local networks.

Holiday Activities and Food Programme

Cheshire East are working with local schools, childcare and holiday club providers and community and voluntary organisations to provide free fun activities as part of our holiday activities and food programme (HAF). The free places are funded by the Department for Education as part of the government’s HAF programme being delivered across Cheshire East. 

This holiday scheme provides enjoyable activities and nutritious meals for primary and secondary school aged children who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals. 

Children and young people will be able to access free activity sessions during the school holidays (Easter, summer and winter), including specific provisions available for children with SEND or additional needs. Activities are offered alongside a nutritious meal each day.
