Bexley’s HAF Steering Group

Since its launch in 2021, Bexley’s Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme has grown significantly. A key part of its success has been the support and collaboration of a dedicated Steering Group, which brings together expertise from across local services to ensure the best outcomes for children and families.

The Steering Group is made up of representatives from the following organisations:

• Deputy Director, Education, Achievement & Inclusion
• Early Years Lead – Education
• Project Manager: 14–19 Services – Education
• Service Manager – Children with Disabilities Service
• Team Manager – Targeted Youth Services
• Assistant Head of the Virtual School – Social Services and Safeguarding

Other Key Members

• Metropolitan Police Force
• Head Teacher – Mayplace Primary School
• CYP Support Manager / Public Health Strategist - Bexley Voluntary Service Council

Register of Providers for 2024 to 2025

We successfully delivered all three HAF holiday programmes for the 2024 to 2025 year: Easter 2024, Summer 2024, and Winter 2024.

These programmes have been diverse, high-quality, and inclusive, offering engaging and enriching experiences for eligible children and young people aged 4–16 across the borough. Our providers have demonstrated strong commitment in delivering activities that are not only fun and rewarding but also support children’s development and wellbeing.

A particular strength of Bexley’s HAF provision continues to be the SEND-specific support, with several providers offering tailored services to meet the needs of children with additional requirements.

The Easter, Summer and Winter programmes have featured a blend of local grassroots providers and larger national organisations, helping to ensure a broad range of experiences and opportunities for participating families.
