Energize announcement: HAF Programme partnership
We are excited to announce that Energize have been accepted onto the Holiday Activities & Food (HAF) programme!
The HAF programme is targeted at young people eligible for free school meals. The summer holidays are long, and families of children on FSM have it harder than ever right now. The HAF programme will ensure young people will not go hungry over the summer, and gives young people some brilliant activities to get involved in.
All young people deserve to have healthy, hot meals all year round, and a safe, fun place to be during the holidays. We are delighted to partner with the HAF programme, playing our part to ensure young people get the help and nourishment they need this summer.
Luke Wallace, Energize Manager

How can I support
Why not volunteer with us!? Energize have a busy summer ahead, and are always in need of volunteers. A fun time with a great team is guaranteed, essential qualifications for volunteering include lots of enthusiasm for young people and a sense of humour.

Spare a few quid? Acts Trust is able to do the work it does partly because of generous people donating. Click here to donate.
Get involved! Even if you’re not eligible for the HAF programme, you can still sign up to our holiday schemes and fun days, if you have a young person between the ages of 8 and 18.
See you this summer!
