Holiday & Food (HAF) Clubs with Essex ActivAte

Summer HAF clubs with Essex ActivAte will go live to book on Monday 22 June 2026 across Essex and Thurrock, with loads of free activity spaces available for school-aged children and young people.

Families can choose from local clubs, offering a fantastic mix of fun activities, movement opportunities, and a free, nutritious meal each day. 

The programme also provides reliable and supportive holiday childcare, helping families maintain routines, balance work, and support children’s wellbeing throughout the school break.

 Take a look at the club directory over on the Active Essex website link to see what clubs are on locally. There is also a flyer attached.

Children entitled to Free School Meals in their own right will receive an email to book activities. Please see information provided below.
