Farley Park Kids Club
Our club aims to give the children and young people the best start in life and also build a strong and resilient community. We will improve children’s life chances and their expectations by giving them better chances to thrive through more opportunities to access activities. Young people will have better future health outcomes by having regular exercise and social interaction with their peers. Improving both their physical and mental health. Our project will contribute towards the ‘Growing up in Sandwell’ where children and young people are supported to lead happy and healthy lives with access to a range of opportunities for positive activities, play and having fun.

About Us
Our organisation has a proven track record of delivering good quality young peoples activities. We have over 20 years experience of delivering an out of school club twice per week and activities during the school holidays We have previous HAF experience of delivering good quality activities and food for the last 3 years. Our main aim, for our children’s club is always to reduce sedentary behaviour and isolation by getting the children involved in enriched activities and sport. We do this by using the feedback from children and families (taken at the end of each playscheme) and tailor activities to what they would like to do, in line with grant guidelines. Past activities include, sports coaches onsite, storytellers to use board games and expressive art to talk about healthy choices, cycling lessons from the West Mids branch of the British cycling team, use of Farley Park activity areas such as the Multi use games area and adventure playground , box clever mentoring sessions, and general arts and craft sessions with children to try learn new skills.

What makes this Great Bridge Community Forum unique?
Farley Park Kids club is situated in Farley Park. This makes us unique as we can use all of the park facilities to make sure the young people have a positive experience of the outdoors. There is a multi-use games area (football, basketball, cricket) and a fantastic adventure play area. We have our own kids ‘pod’ for indoor activities such as arts, crafts, games, dancing, music and everything in between! The Great Bridge Community Forum have a wealth of experience in delivering Holiday Play Schemes. We listen to our children and ask them what activities or opportunities they would like. Gaining feedback from our kids is one of our main priorities, during the sessions, as we want playscheme to be led by the children for the children.
