Summer holidays for our young people/families

This article has been brought to you by Slough Borough Council for the attention of all young people and families.

With the Summer holidays soon underway, there’ll be many programmes available for children, young people and families in and around Slough.

Below is a list of a few upcoming activities that we and some of our partner agencies are running. These include:

  1. Summer events with Team Participation

There are various activities taking place during our Summer programme, open to all young people across our services. This includes foster siblings, apart from the last event that is being run by the Virtual School (that is only for those in years 5-11 and in our care).

Sign up is required in advance: Please visit Team Participation: Summer Programme 2025 to complete the booking form.

  1. HAF

Children and young people can join the free Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme.

A month of free fun during the holidays from today until 31 August including swimming sessions, circus-based activities, water sports, music and movement, arts & crafts, days out, trips and more.

All free for kids eligible for benefits related free school meals with a HAF code. Each child/young person will receive one hot meal each day during the programme. HAF codes have been sent out to eligible families via post. You can email the HAF team at HAF@slough.gov.uk to confirm eligibility for the programme. Not eligible for HAF but want to join in the fun? That is still possible but there may be a charge!
