Projects With Kids
Kids Club
Interested in working with children? Want to make a difference in the local community? Or just wanting to do something other than lie in and waste the day on a Saturday? If so then Kids Club is for you!
Every saturday a group of volunteers, led by a project co-ordinator, go off in a minibus and take a group of children from the York area on a variety of daytrips. These children are aged between 8 and 11 and they are referred to us by social services as being "desperately in need of a break". Their home circumstances vary from being young carers to victims of domestic violence to children recently put into care.
Trips recently have included a huge two minibus trip to the seaside, a trip to the Circus, trips swimming, and the ever popular Creepy Crawlies indoor play centre (possibly the most fun place you can go whilst at York).
