Free activities and healthy food for children this summer holiday

Thousands of free holiday club spaces are available this summer for children and young people in Croydon in receipt of benefits-related free school meals.

Croydon Council is partnering with 56 organisations across 71 holiday club sites, to offer children a hot, healthy meal and fun activities as part of the government-funded holiday activities and food (HAF) programme.

Places are now available to book and more information can be found on the council website.

Children and young people will have access to a variety of sports, arts and crafts, music, drama, coding, and educational workshops and many more. Holiday clubs are filled with activities so that every young person can learn new skills and explore new interests.

Support will be given to children with additional needs, and special arrangements can be put in place to make sure those children feel welcomed, included, and able to take part in the wide range of activities on offer. Please provide any additional details to your chosen club at time of booking.

Children who live or attend school in Croydon and receive free school meals are entitled to attend up to 16 sessions this summer.

Children attending Croydon schools will receive a unique voucher code from their school, so parents and carers should look out for an email from HolidayActivities. This link will grant access to the booking portal.

Parents of eligible children who live in Croydon but attend school outside the borough will need to complete the following form to request their unique voucher code.
