Eligible families will be able to sign up for Darlington's holiday activities programme again over the Easter holidays.

The sessions include different sports, arts and crafts, cooking and more, and all include a health meal as part of the day, as part of efforts to support families who might struggle with costs during the school holidays.

The HAF programme is funded by the Government, and the Department for Education, and is open to any child aged between 5-16, who receives benefits related free school meals.

Families should have been sent a letter from their schools with instructions on how to book onto the sessions.

You can find out more via Darlington Council's website.
