Holiday Activities & Food (HAF) Programme 

LIVE BOOKINGS ARE OPEN for our December Holiday Activities & Food (HAF) programme!

Our programme has been expanded, enabling us to offer places to more children- at more locations! ‘HAF’ is the Holiday Activity & Food programme funded by the government.
The aim is to provide opportunities to be active, socialise and providing fun ways to learn about food education as well as a free meal at every session.

We are also very excited to announce our HAF teen programme! Offering a free meal each day, food education and a gym & swim pass! Magna Vitae’s next HAF programme dates are:
Friday 22^nd (Skegness & Mablethorpe Only), Wednesday 27^th  (all locations), Thursday 28^th (all locations), Friday 29^th December 2023 (all locations) and Tuesday 2^nd January 2024 (Louth only).
We will be running HAF programmes in Louth, Skegness and Mablethorpe.
There will be two programmes running at each site: Our ‘main’ HAF programme for children aged 5-13 years (school years: Reception–Year 9) & Our teen HAF programme is for young people aged 14–16 years (school years 10 & 11).

Parents should receive HAF voucher codes on or before this date. Each child that is eligible for HAF funding will receive 4 HAF voucher codes to use over the December school holidays.

Eligibility for HAF places can be found on Lincolnshire County Council’s website by clicking here.

Families who are eligible for HAF funding will be notified by their child’s school and receive an e-Voucher code (via the school). These codes will be provided with a website link to the booking system. The booking system will show all HAF programmes within Lincolnshire, so that families can see availability and choose where to book!

Nearer the time, please keep an eye out for the e-Voucher email from your child’s school. (If you believe you should receive a voucher and have not, please contact your child’s school first).

Food Hygiene Rating

We are proud to confirm that we are 5* for Food Hygiene at our venues in Skegness, Mablethorpe and Louth.

HAF frequently asked questions:

What are the ages for the HAF programme? 

Funding for the HAF programme covers ages 5-16 years (Reception year – year 11). The ages able to attend each HAF programme can vary. Please see the booking system for the ages allowed at each venue or provider.

Magna Vitae’s HAF teen programme is for 14 – 16 years.

How to book? 

Please use the link provided with your child’s Evoucher code to book using the online booking system. You will be able to see all HAF venues, providers and spaces available on this booking system.

What food will be provided? 

A healthy meal will be provided at every HAF session. Food menus will be sent out to all those with confirmed bookings before the day. Any allergies or food preferences should be noted on the booking form and on the food ordering form.

What drinks will be provided? 

Water will be provided at all HAF venues and dates. Water bottles can also be refilled during the sessions. We ask where possible that children only bring water or milk with them to drink.

What to wear? 

Please dress your child in comfortable, casual clothes suitable for active sessions, the weather, and that you don’t mind getting messy from any crafts or food. Your child will also need to bring a coat, and preferable be wearing trainers.

What does each day involve? 

Every HAF session with Magna Vitae will involve active sessions, a free meal, food education and crafts. The sports or crafts will vary depending on the session and venue.

My child has a medical condition, allergy, medication? 

If your child has a medical condition, allergy, takes any medication, or has an ECHP plan from school, please make us aware on the booking system and on any food order form (if allergy / food related).

The HAF team will review this information before the day your child attends, to make sure that we can provide the best experience for your child, and to make any relevant staff aware. Letting us know this information in advance can help us to make the club a better experience for your child.
