Rejected petition Renew Holiday Activity Fund for pupil premium free school meals children.

Ask the government to renew the holiday activity fund to support children during school holidays and ensure they have safe childcare and a hot meal each day.

More details

The government has not announced what it is doing with the HAF, and with the fund due to end in January 2025, children are in danger of not being able to access childcare and a hot meal during the school holiday from Easter 2025. Providers and parents need time to plan and ensure this is delivered.

Why was this petition rejected?

We can't publish petitions when the request is something that's already happening or something that has been announced since you started your petition.

We think your petition is covered by Government or Parliament action already. If you'd like something else, you could start a new petition clearly explaining what it is.

Earlier this month, the Government announced that funding for this programme will continue for 2025-26.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
