Holiday Activities and Food annual report
Plans for HAF programme for 2024/25
Our target for Summer 2024 is to offer 17,500 holiday club daily places in 60 plus clubs across Gateshead for the equivalent of 4 hours a day, 4 days a week for 4 weeks.
Our key priority area for development in 2024 will be working with all of Gateshead's secondary schools to identify 300+ qualifying teenagers to engage with Gateshead HAF Plus programme during the summer of 2024. The programme will be controlled by Gateshead's new HAF plus app, this will allow young people to choose what events they would like to attend during the summer of 2024 (29 July to 23 August). The programme will be based in the Metrocentre Community HUB.
Every young person involved in the programme will be issued with a 4 week all zone Tyne and Wear travel pass which is key to HAF Plus's Independent Travel Model.
Healthy lunches and refreshments will be provided by Grounded Kitchen, Greggs Foundation and Subway all located within the Metro Centre.
All the activities available during the 4 week programme have been identified by young people as something they would attend. Activities for 2024 include:
