From sports and drama to art, cooking, and games, every session helps children build confidence, resilience, and social skills. Educational and skill-building activities are also a key focus. Each child receives a hot, healthy, home-cooked meal every session. We understand the pressures families face with the rising cost of living, and we want to support our families as well as ensure that children have access to healthy food. Junior Club is often a child’s first experience of youth work and the start of lifelong friendships and memories.
