What activities are offered?
We are delivering a programme which allows children to showcase their creativity, socialise with peers, learn and share different cultures and learn about the importance of taking pride in their work which builds confidence. These sessions are a great, safe way to discover that it’s okay to make mistakes which will lead to new ideas as it is a learning cycle.
All our activities are incredibly inclusive, accessible and have no commitment whatsoever and above all, they open the doors to children of all gender

What are the benefits
Over the past few years, we have built trusted relationships with families, local schools, and community partners, ensuring effective outreach and participation. Our team includes qualified activity leaders, tutors, and trained volunteers who understand the needs of children with SEND, language barriers, or from low-income households.
What they say about us
‘“The kids are always happy to come and play football and netball. This also works for ys a parent because during term time we end up paying for those activities, but it allows us to save during the holidays as they get to come to these activities which are free f charge.”
Parent
“My child has always loved playing the guitar and the keyboard and the AFSCS has provided him with this brilliant platform where she can learn to play instruments and not only play but also read music and understand what she is playing. Thanks to the team for providing such a wonderful platform”
Parent
“The football gives a development platform for my son by allowing him to play with his friends and other children. He always looked forward to the sessions during the holidays and the sandwiches and refreshments provided at the end. Kudos to the chef”
