Did you HAF a great time at our Festive Family Fun Day? 

We certainly did and were thrilled to see nearly 400 people enjoying the free activities that were made available by so many Holiday Activity and Food Programme providers in the area. Fencing and food, fire engines and fun; what more could you ask for from the UKHarvest team! 

Thank you so much to all the HAF providers that joined us. UKHarvest are now the proud owners of three original pieces of street art, led by @BenCav, local street artist. The theme was ‘HAF you had a good time?’ and the children, along with some adults, answered in bright colours and imaginative designs. This was just one of the incredible activities on offer, sitting alongside fencing, archery, dance and music workshops. 

We can’t write about the day without mentioning the secretive but fantastically received ‘Gift Room’ full to the brim with donated toys, collected by @V2 and donated to UKHarvest. Each child was offered the opportunity to take one toy home; a special treat for everyone that attended. 

Unlike other years, we felt it was important to offer some of our rescued food for families to take home as the school holidays began. A selection of fresh fruit and vegetables were available to help supplement any meals taking place of the festive break. Families were incredibly happy to receive pizza making kit, with ingredients and recipe alongside an activity pack for the children to do. Hopefully some of it was used for any Christmas Day celebrations. 

Keep a look out for details of our HAF events that will be taking place throughout 2025!
