Club Matters – Club Health Check
As a part of the club support package we are requesting clubs to complete the Club Health Check to help us get a better understanding of the needs in Manchester and how we can tailor your support.
Please Note: When completing the Health Check can you do the following - ‘MCRactive - Name of the Club - North/Central/South’ i.e ‘MCRactive – Football AFC– North’
In Manchester, we recognise that school holidays for some families can be a challenging time. The pressure of reduced incomes and increased costs such as food and childcare can feel hard during these times, and for some children and young people this creates gaps in accessing organised holiday activity.
This can result in ‘unhealthy holidays’ - increased holiday hunger, limited access to nutritious and healthy meals alongside limited access to physical and fun activities. All of which can contribute to the likelihood of experiencing social isolation. Sadly, these issues have also been further exasperated by the Covid-19 pandemic.
In response to this, the Department of Education (DfE) has provided local authorities with Holiday Activity Funding (HAF) to develop a free activity and food programme during the holidays. This means we are able to work with clubs and organisations across the city to develop a food and activity programme to respond to the above, which we know will make a positive impact on the children and young people of Manchester.

Please note HAF 2023 applications are now closed, please contact haf@mcractive.com if you have any queries.
