#HAF2025 in Bolton - What else is important?
Why are the activities only in some locations? We invite applications from activity providers across the borough who were able to meet the strict HAF criteria and limited budget. However, as you know, we live in a very diverse borough, which means there will be limitations as to where the programme can operate, so unfortunately, there may not be a scheme in every area. Maybe try a free HAF pass (11+ FSM eligible young people only) or keep checking for much more fun & food!

Who has funded the holiday programme? The vast majority of sessions are funded by the Department for Education (DfE), but some are also funded by the DWP (Household Support Fund), Bolton Council, Horwich Town Council, Westhoughton Town Council, EPIC (Egerton Park), Friends of Astley Bridge & Local Councillors' Area Forum/Community Alliance budgets in Astley Bridge, Bradshaw, Bromley Cross, Breightmet, Farnworth, Great Lever, Hulton, Queens Park & Central, Westhoughton, Kearsley & Horwich wards. Our thanks go to all who have made the programme so accessible!
