One Activity

Kidz Club, the flagship of Fresh Start Community Association, takes place every Friday afternoon during term time for families and children.

Kidz Club​​ is a place for children to come and have fun, but it is much more than this. Parents and younger siblings are also part of the club giving the whole family an opportunity to build connections and establish friendships.​

The various activities provided (craft, board games, table football, pool, table tennis, jigsaws, play kitchen etc.) build individuality within a safe environment for self-expression. Team games provide the experience of working as a community and the importance of each of us fulfilling our part, knowing we are valuable and irreplaceable.
​
​Each session includes a meal, where every member of each individual family sits and eats together. We support the parent to be the authority in their family, taking responsibility and establishing boundaries.  We esteem the parent and demonstrate to the children the importance of respect and appreciation of their parents.
 
Kidz Club is not only a safe play session, but a place where the individual is celebrated, the family supported, parents are empowered and the community strengthened. 

Many Participants

The numbers attending each week can range from 25- 50 or more individuals.

Our response to Covid-19

Due to the continued Covid-19 pandemic restrictions we are not able to gather together for activities. To enable us to continue to support the families and individuals we are running Kidz Club sessions through video conferencing. These also include an activity pack, which we provide for each family attending each week.
