Our wide reach across Blackpool makes us the leading provider of the Department for Education-funded HAF programme. Our Sports Development team coordinate HAF provision that spans across 12 venues throughout the year, supporting 300 participants a day. The programme aims to assist families in Blackpool who receive targeted free school meals to continue to access healthy meals and activities during the school holidays. We provide participants with free access to four hours of enrichment activities, a healthy meal, snacks, and drinks throughout Easter, Christmas and Summer holidays.
