HolidayActivities
Engaging eligible families within your community
HolidayActivities is a dedicated platform to run your local authorities’ Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme. With HolidayActivities, local authorities across the UK have been able to reach over a million eligible families, enabling them to access and engage their children in sports and activities during the school holidays.
Hassle free bookings
Using the HolidayActivities platform parents can easily and securely access their HAF vouchers, they can manage their own bookings, search by activity type, location, SEND requirements and communicate directly with activity providers.
Once an activity is booked, parents will receive confirmation emails and reminder notifications of their upcoming bookings.
Here's what our customers say:
Natalie Bonfield. Development Manager said ‘It's been fantastic to have a central point for parents to go to for booking events for their children to attend.
HolidayActivites, it's just so easy! We previously had a very inconsistent and disjointed system. Since working with HolidayActivities we have been able to ensure the eligible children have ALL received their HAF vouchers'
Anthony Lowe, HAF Programme Manager said ‘Before we used HolidayActivities, getting as many HAF vouchers out to families and the reporting process was extremely long-winded and manual, now it's streamlined, just a few clicks and it's all done!
Thinking about HolidayActivities for managing your HAF programme? Just go for it! It is cost-effective and makes for a much more efficient and streamlined process. It has been a massive timesaver for me personally in a smaller authority where I do the lion's share of the programme work myself.
HolidayActivites stood out due to its ability to link directly to schools to identify the cohort of FSM eligible children. We previously had significant difficulty getting permission to access the data when needed.’
Laila Khatun, Commissioning and Project Officer said 'Previously, we did not have a booking platform and completed everything manually. This became a priority for us to address, and HolidayAcivities platform emerged as the ideal fit to support the running and management of our HAF programme. Using HolidayActivities has proven to be both cost-effective and enabled us to target, and support eligible families. The streamlined reporting process has facilitated easier submissions, ensuring the reliability of our data. Thanks to the efficiency of the platform the HAF team have gained the flexibility to address other priorities within the HAF initiative.'
