Eligibility for Your Holiday Hub

Your Holiday Hub is funded by the Department for Education’s Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme.

This holiday provision is for:

  • school aged children from reception to year 11
  • who receive benefits-related free school meals.

Benefits-related free school meals are available to pupils if their parents are in receipt of one of the qualifying benefits, and have a claim verified by their school or local authority.

Universal infant free school meals (UIFSM)

All children in reception, year 1 and year 2 in England’s state-funded schools receive a free meal under the Department for Education (DfE) UIFSM meal policy. Infant pupils who receive a free meal under UIFSM must also be eligible for benefits-related free school meals to be able to access a place on a Your Holiday Hub activity.
