HAF Map
Search using your postcode > Enter in your range (miles) > Choose your child’s age range > Press search to find the nearest clubs to you.
If your child has a specific need, we advise that you contact the club directly to ensure that your child’s need can be met, or that the club can make reasonable adjustments prior to attendance. The SEND drop down is for clubs that are SEND exclusive. Even if the provider is SEND exclusive, it’s important to tell providers about your child’s needs so they can be best looked after.
Find out if you're eligible
Did you know that on average, parents spend up to £500 per year, per child on school meals? There are so many children that are eligible but do not benefit from this crucial funding. Our aim is to make as many families as possible aware of their child’s entitlement to hot, tasty, nutritious meals in school through term time, as well as the great activity opportunities available to them in the holidays.
