After School Clubs

From 2014-2018, we ran an after school club at Holy Trinity Community Centre in Colne, for pupils at Primet Primary School.

This project was funded by our friends at Pendle Housing, who shared our concerns regarding the need for more intensive support for the borough's children. The area sadly faces multiple issues that impact negatively on our children, and one of them is food poverty. The impact this has on children’s ability to function and progress at school cannot be underestimated.

At each session, we provided a hot meal for each child, as well as arts and crafts activities and targeted group workshops looking some of the issues that the children faced - mental health, internet safety, firework safety, bullying & friendships, etc. The project was hugely successful in providing a warm and nurturing environment for the children to attend after school, engaging them in fun activities to develop skills and enable them to thrive and be happy.
