Is there a Charge?
The First session is free!
To cover the cost of our maintenance and overheads, we do request for just £1 per session. This can be paid in cash upon arrival each evening (or for a few weeks in advance).
If cost is an issue, please do still come, and speak to the club leader to let them know your interest.
The Session
The children and young people take part in organised games and team activities. In the course of the evening, one of our leaders will then give a brief, applicable, bible based talk to the children.
For pictures around some of our activities, please see Club Activities.
What about my shy kids?
You are welcome to stay and watch your child for the first session, for as long as it takes for them to feel comfortable.
We are confident that after a few sessions, your child will enjoy coming and you can confidently leave them until pick up time.
With over 70 years experience, we have dealt with a large variety of children and our team of volunteers are fully capable of working with your child and helping them enjoy integrating into the club!
The kids group activities vary depending on their age, but you can always expect a friendly welcome along with team games and possibly arts, crafts or cooking. Please pick your children up as soon as the club session finishes.
Why not come along and visit us. Introduce yourself to one of our team and we will do everything possible to help your child settle in.
Prize Giving
Our Youth group has many exciting activities and opportunities for young people to make friends, and enjoy a bit of friendly competition.
The children and young people collect points throughout the school year, with frequency of attendance and participation in competitive games comprising a key part.
Typically at the end of the school year in July, the club holds its annual parents evening / prize giving, giving awards and certificates to the children for various proficiencies (eg in sports or crafts).
Each age group/category has an award section for the children /young people attending that session, and attendance plays a huge part in earning points!
