Holiday activities in Waltham Forest

Parents and carers throughout Waltham Forest may be eligible to benefit from a free holiday clubs programme for children and young people during school holidays.

Holiday Activities and Food Programme (HAF), funded by the Department for Education (DfE), enables children and young people to enjoy fun activities with friends and learn and develop new skills during Easter, Summer and Winter Holidays. The local programme is available only for those children who are eligible for benefits-related free school meals.

For any queries, please contact wfholidayactivityprogramme@walthamforest.gov.uk

The youth services directory features services in Waltham Forest for children and young people aged 6 to 25 including our Space4All youth programme. 

If you are looking for all-day childcare, there are many holiday clubs open across the borough during the holidays. These clubs are open all day Monday to Friday.

Don't forget, if you use an Ofsted registered holiday club you can receive help with your childcare costs if you are eligible. Further information about tax credits, tax-free childcare, childcare vouchers and other support can be found on the childcare services website.
