​

The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme is a government-funded initiative that provides eligible children with free holiday activities, exciting experiences and a healthy meal during the Easter, Summer and Christmas school holidays. HAF is funded by the Department for Education and aims to give children the opportunity to stay active, make new friends, learn new skills and enjoy enriching activities throughout the holidays.

​

Who is eligible?

Your child may be eligible for a FREE HAF-funded place if they:

• Receive benefits-related Free School Meals (FSM).

• Have Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) or meet other eligibility criteria set by Bradford Council.

You can check your child's eligibility by visiting the Bradford HAF Portal: https://bradford.haf.fun/login

 

How do I book?

Booking your child's place is quick and easy:

1. Visit the Bradford HAF Portal: https://bradford.haf.fun/login

2. ​Create an account or log in.

3. Search for YACAD Events, YACAD Mini Camp – Ages 5–7, or YACAD Main Camp – Ages 8 and Above, depending on the activity you'd like to book.

4. Wait to receive a confirmation email from a member of the YACAD team containing your discount code. Enter this code at checkout to remove the cost of your eligible HAF activities before completing your booking.

 

Places are completely free for eligible children, but spaces are limited and often book up quickly, so we recommend securing your place as soon as bookings open. We can't wait to welcome your child for a holiday full of creativity, fun and unforgettable experiences! Any questions, please email haf@yacad.org
