Lambeth's Summer of Food and Fun 2024 funding application form

The Holiday Activity and Food programme, funded by Department of Education, has been expanded into 2024 so that children and young people aged between 4 -16 years (Reception- Year 11) in receipt of benefits-related free school meals in England will be offered free healthy meals and enriching activities over the spring, summer and winter holidays in all Local Authorities in England. 

This application form is for funding for the summer holiday period 2024 for Lambeth-based holiday providers and the programme will be managed by Lambeth Council.

Lambeth’s Summer of Food and Fun will fund holiday clubs for up to 5 weeks/ 24 days from Monday 29th July until Friday 30th August (excluding Monday 26th August- bank holiday). The actual number of days funded will depend the availability of funding/ number of applications received.


The funding is £22 per CYP/ per day and all funded CYP must be provided with a nutritious meal and a variety of enriching activities. More information is included in the accompanying Guide for Applicants.

Due to funding from City Hall, all primary school children in London are now eligible for free school meals for a minimum of 2 years from September 2023 and this is not means-tested. The main eligibility criteria for the HAF however, remains benefit-related free school meals. Lambeth Council will cross-check every funded CYP against the Free School Meals register to check eligibility.

Please read the accompanying guide for applicants before completing this form.

-Application period opens- Monday 29th April at 9am
