Councillor Stephen Bennett, Chair of Wirral Council’s Children, Families and Education Committee, said:
This Easter’s HAF programme brings together an even broader mix of clubs and activities for children and young people across Wirral. From outdoor adventures and multi-sports to hands-on creative sessions, there’s something to spark every child’s curiosity. Older children can also get involved in wellbeing workshops, imaginative projects and team challenges. It’s fantastic to see so many providers offering opportunities that help families make the most of the school holidays in a safe, supportive and engaging environment.
Each eligible child can attend up to four days of free holiday provision, with lunch included, helping families access high‑quality, local holiday opportunities without financial strain. Some clubs also offer paid places for children who are not eligible for a funded spot.
Who can book?
Children and young people who receive benefits‑related free school meals (FSM) are eligible for funded HAF places. Families who do not receive FSM can still book paid places where available. Booking is now live and managed directly through the Eequ platform.
