What it is

A place for our children, every week

Our Kids Club runs every Sunday at the community centre. It is a warm, supervised indoor session where children aged 3 to 9 draw, make things, watch a film and play together — and where families get a regular fixed point in the week to see one another.

Drawing & painting

Themed sheets and chunky crayons for the little ones, blank paper and free rein for the older children.

Crafts

Paper plate masks, playdough animals, friendship bracelets and a group mural — everyone takes something home.

Film time

Cushions on the floor, lights down and a short film split across the day — a proper rest in the middle of the session.

Games

Simon Says, guess the sound, pass the parcel, charades and board games. All seated — the room is indoors and there is no running.

Story time

A read-aloud after lunch to settle everybody down before the afternoon.

Tea for the parents

While the children are busy, parents are welcome to stay at the back for a glass of tea and a chat.

Join the team

We are looking for helpers

Weekend Activity Assistant

We need friendly, reliable people to help run the club on Sundays — welcoming families at the door, keeping the register, leading a craft table and joining in with the games. These are paid roles, one fixed day a week, and no formal qualifications are needed. A DBS check is required and we will arrange it.

  • Registering children and speaking with parents
  • Keeping children engaged and included
  • Running crafts, drawing and simple games
  • Setting up and clearing away

We look forward to seeing your children

Places are limited each week, so please let us know in advance if you are coming.
