We recently launched our ‘Big Kidz Only Club’, named by our young people!
Big Kidz Only Club is our newest group at St Chads Community Project, run in partnership with Youth Focus North East. This group was set up after a group of young people came together to form a small focus group to find out what young people wanted to see within their community.
We work with 10-14 years old and offer fun, free and interactive sessions.
We currently meet every Thursday 4.15-6.15pm and run all year round.
Our sessions cater for what the young people want to do, they are all involved in planning their own programme. Sessions have included trips, arts and crafts, sports, cooking and discussions around issues young people may face.
Within this session young people can share food together and are able to choose what food they have each week.
Skills in which young people achieve include:
- Confidence
- Communication skills
- Life skills
- Practical skills
- Peer learning
- Empowerment
- Reinforces positive mental health
If you would like to know more about the group, please contact our Family Support Worker Lindsey on lindsey@stchadscommunityproject.org.
