Activities for children and young people
We organise lots of free activities for children and young people living in our homes. From sport, art and cooking to homework clubs, trips and volunteering - and lots more besides - there really is something for everyone!
October 2019 half-term activities
Check out the FREE and discounted activities we have planned during the October half-term holidays at Phoenix Heights on the Isle of Dogs and Hillview in Camden.
Our youth services team organise loads of fantistic fun and educational activites for our younger customers - all with the aim of helping them to do their best and to become the best they can. We run lots of the activities ourselves in our community centres, but we also work in partnership with other great organsiations who specialise in working with younger people.
In our experience, children and young people really benefit from taking part - not only do they develop great friendships, it also helps boost their self-confidence and esteem. We create safe and caring environments for our young people which helps them grow and develop whilst having fun and learning.
The activities we run include:
- all kinds of sports
- art, music and media
- cooking
- health and wellbeing
- environmental projects
- participation and citizenship
- trips
- volunteering
- accreditation through Duke of Edinburgh awards, ABC and AQA.
We organise regular weekly activities during term time and also special programmes during school holidays mainly out of our youth centres in London:
- Phoenix Heights Community Centre – Isle of Dogs
- Virginia Quays Community Centre – Poplar
- Gray’s Inn Community Centre - Holborn
- Hillview Community Centre – King’s Cross
