The Holiday Activity Fund programme has provided healthy food and enriching activities to disadvantaged children and young people across Nottingham since 2018, benefiting their health wellbeing and learning. Funded by the Department of Education, the programme is aimed at children and young people in reception to year 11 receipt of benefit related free school meals. Free Fun and Food is the name for the Holiday Activity Fund in Nottingham. Since 2021, Nottingham City Council has funded ‘Free Fun and Food’ programmes across Spring, Summer, October half-term and Winter school holidays. For 2025-26 the programme has been revamped to ensure it provides children and young people with a varied new programme of exciting activities and healthy, nutritious food.
Funding workshops
This year there are two free training seminars from the partner organisation, Funding Support. One of their specialist funding consultants will be talking about what makes an application successful, and there will also be an opportunity to access one-to-one support to discuss your funding application. These face-to-face training sessions will take place on Thursday 24 and Tuesday 29 April 2025. More information can be found in the guidance document, and you can sign up for one of these seminars here.
