HAF Impact Reports

In total, we distributed over £467,000 in direct grants for the HAF Easter and Summer 2023 programme. Grants were awarded to 23 organisations offering a wide range of opportunities right across Harrow targeting a diverse range of children and young people, including Romanian, Iranian, Afghan and Tamil communities.

Looking back at our three Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programmes in 2022, we are extremely pleased with the high-quality provision and support offered to Harrow’s young people and families. Harrow, much like the rest of London, is still reeling from the pandemic's detrimental impact and under pressure due to the ongoing cost of living crisis.

Young Harrow Foundation (YHF) was commissioned by Harrow Council in March 2021 to deliver The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme in Harrow. The Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme is a Department for Education (DfE) funded programme of activities for children and young people from Reception to Year 11, during the school holidays (Winter, Easter, and Summer) eligible for Free School Meals (FSM), benefits related.
