  • supporting children to access clubs

Supporting eligible children to access holiday clubs

We ask that you encourage all known children and families who receive benefits-related Free School Meals to book places with HAF providers. Children who attend a Solihull school will have received an email to show proof of entitlement and the child’s Solihull HAF code, which they must show to providers when making a booking. 

If you are a school you may have provision running in the school or very close by that you can promote to eligible families. You can see what's on offer at our activities page.
