What is the Healthy Holidays Fund?
The Healthy Holidays Fund is open to voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector organisations to provide food and activities for children in Salford during the spring (Easter), summer and winter (Christmas) school holidays.
This fund is a small part of a wider council-led Holiday Food and Activities (HAF) partnership programme aimed at addressing ‘holiday hunger,’ which particularly effects children eligible for free school meal. It is supported by Salford City Council using monies secured from the Department for Education.
Who should benefit from this funding?
This fund is aimed at supporting children aged 4-16 whose families struggle to provide enough healthy food for their children during the holiday period. A minimum of 50% of children attending should be eligible for free school meals.
