After-School Club
After-School Club
Our local after-school club provides young people with a fun, enriching, and inclusive environment to spend their free time whether after school, during holidays, or half-term breaks. The sessions are open to all children, both with and without additional needs, and are also available for pupils on reduced timetables or those who would benefit from therapeutic support.
Throughout the week, we deliver a range of after-school activities that combine sports, life skills, and therapeutic experiences, all designed to boost wellbeing, confidence, and social development. Transport is available to ensure accessibility for all participants.
Due to our ongoing growth, we currently run two groups G1 and G2 with 24 young people attending daily (12 in each group) from different parts of the city. Each group enjoys a variety of rotating activities, ensuring every session is fresh, engaging, and tailored to their needs and interests.

Mondays - Music (G1) or Swimming (G2)
Forest School is a long-term outdoor education process that is holistic and learner-led. It allows children to develop themselves through healthy engagement with risk, problem-solving and self-discovery, all within a natural environment in a hands-on and thoughtful manner. Foraging introduces children to wild and healthy edible foods in the forest, teaching young people how to ensure that when foraging, they leave some for the wildlife. This helps young people to develop a deeper understanding of wildlife and the free healthy foods found in the outdoors. Our cooking sessions are a fun way to provide children with hot, healthy meals, as well as learning valuable life skills.
Tuesdays - Cooking/Creative sessions (G1) or Football G2)
Our sports sessions include a range of sports such as boxing, cycling, badminton, netball, basketball, dodgeball, dance and physical activities. Sports are an excellent way of empowering young people to develop teamwork, confidence, self-belief, social skills and talent. These sessions equally improve physical and mental health.
Wednesdays - Swimming (G1) Cooking/ Creative Sessions G2)
We want to make swimming accessible, fun, and easy for everyone. Our SEN-friendly swimming sessions have been specifically developed for those swimming with and without a disability.
Our instructors have gone through dedicated training, meaning they can deliver inclusive classes for people with different abilities, impairments and access needs. We also have staff that the young people know and trust in the water to provide additional safety in the water.
Thursdays - Football (G1) / Music (G2)
We want to make football and music accessible, fun, and inclusive for everyone. Our SEN-friendly sessions have been specially developed for participants with and without disabilities.
Our coaches and facilitators have received dedicated training to deliver inclusive football and music sessions that support people with different abilities, impairments, and access needs. We also ensure that familiar and trusted staff are present to provide additional support, encouragement, and safety throughout the activities.
Fun Fridays (TGIF) - Horse Therapy (G1) / Boxing (G2)
Boxing / Horse Therapy – Just like adults, young people need time to unwind, have fun, and connect with others after a busy week at school. That’s why we’ve introduced “Thank God It’s Friday” — a dedicated space for our young people to relax, recharge, and enjoy positive social experiences.
Each Friday, participants can take part in engaging activities such as boxing sessions that build confidence, discipline, and fitness, or horse therapy, which promotes calmness, trust, and emotional wellbeing. Alongside these, we also offer exciting trips to places like ice skating rinks, cinemas, trampoline parks, and bowling alleys.
By providing safe, structured, and enjoyable activities, we help our young people develop social skills, build friendships, and reduce exposure to negative street influences — all while having fun and ending the week on a positive note.
