Unable to Attend?

If your child can no longer attend a session, please cancel their place via the EEQU booking system as soon as possible.

Places are limited and funded through the HAF programme. By cancelling in advance, you are helping another eligible child access a valuable holiday experience.

Thank you for supporting us to make the best use of HAF funding and ensuring as many local children as possible can benefit from these fantastic opportunities.

We look forward to welcoming your child!

Dear Parent/Carer,

We are delighted that your child is taking part in the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme.

As HAF places are fully funded and often in high demand, we want to ensure that as many eligible children and young people as possible can benefit from the opportunities available. Currently, some sessions experience a high number of non-attendees, meaning places are left unused when other families may have been waiting for the opportunity.

We understand that plans can change and that there are many reasons why a child may be unable to attend a session. If you are no longer able to attend, please cancel your booking as soon as possible so that the place can be offered to another child.

If you are running late on the day, please do not worry. Your child is still welcome to attend, and providers will do their best to support you. We know that finding a venue, unexpected delays, or feeling anxious about attending can sometimes make it difficult to arrive on time.

To help improve attendance, providers may contact families before and during sessions to offer support and check whether they are still planning to attend.

Please be aware that where a booked session is missed and providers are unable to make contact using the details provided, any future bookings with that provider may be cancelled. This helps ensure that funded places are used and remain available to other eligible children and young people. Families are always welcome to rebook or join waiting lists for future sessions.

Thank you for helping us ensure that HAF opportunities are available to as many children and families as possible.

Kind regards,

Milton Keynes HAF Team
