Ep 8: The Future of HAF with Prof Greta Defeyter, Mark Lawrie & Francesca Wood
In today's episode of the Feeding Britain podcast, Andrew is joined by three fellow members of the HAF Alliance, Professor Greta Defeyter, Mark Lawrie, and Francesca Wood, to explore recent and forthcoming developments with the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme in England. The HAF Alliance was convened five years ago by Feeding Britain to advocate for the continued resourcing and ongoing strengthening of the HAF programme so that it could be as effective as possible for as large a group of children and young people as possible. In light of the Government's decision last year to renew HAF funding for a further three years, this discussion explores the opportunities that now exist to realise the full potential of the programme in order to fully embed and expand its impact.
