New: Comic Relief x Sainsbury’s Summer Holiday Activity and Food Programme

We’re proud to launch this year’s Comic Relief x Sainsbury's Summer Holiday Activity and Food Programme. Sainsbury’s and Comic Relief are committed to tackling food poverty and have identified limitations within the current Government-funded Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) scheme.

The aim of the programme is to provide school children (up to Year 11) with improved access to summer holiday activity and food schemes. The programme will support organisations who already provide food and holiday activities to increase access and reach. It will also support organisations that currently do not provide such activities but feel well-placed to deliver a summer food and activity scheme.

How much can I apply

Grants of up to £10,000 are available to organisations with a total annual income of up to £500,000 in your previous financial year. This is a pan-London programme, prioritising organisations looking to:

Increase/improve access to holiday food and activity schemes for children with disabilities
Increase/improve access to holiday food and activity schemes for children experiencing food poverty
Increase the delivery period of their programme to include more days per week and/or more weeks of the school summer holidays.

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on Wednesday 22nd April 2026.
