Hertfordshire County Council, Herts Sports Partnership and Hertfordshire Community Foundation have joined forces to deliver healthy food alongside physical and enrichment activities, under the name ‘HAPpy: Hertfordshire’s Holiday Activity Programme’.

HAPpy aims to tackle the triple inequalities of holiday hunger, physical inactivity and social isolation. It supports children aged from 5 to 16 who are eligible for benefits related to free school meals during the school holidays.
