Free Sessions
HAF (Holiday Activities and Food) Provision
In partnership with Portsmouth City Council, Pompey in the Community is pleased to offer HAF sessions as part of our holiday activities. Ensuring that children have access to nutritious meals during their time with us, we prioritise their well-being both on and off the pitch. Our HAF provision aims to support families on means-tested benefits in our Community by providing a wholesome and nurturing environment for children to learn, play, and grow.
This year, we worked with our Pompey Community Partners Utilita Energy and EFL and EFL Trust partners Smart Energy GB to provide families with information packs on how to reduce their energy bills and access support where needed.
