For children aged 3 - 11 years
School aged children whose parents are working, training or studying need safe care before & after school hours & also during school holidays. Out of school clubs, often based in school premises, youth centres or community centres meet this need & provide a range of enjoyable activities.
For more details of out of school clubs in your area contact Children's Information Service on 0800 917 2121, email: cis@darlington.gov.uk or visit the national Childcarelink website
For children aged 11 - 16 year olds
'Make Space' is a £2.5 million national campaign supported by the Nestle Trust in partnership with Kids' Club Network. It intends to create a network of clubs for young people aged 11 to 16, designed as they would like them, providing a place to go, things to do & opening doors to new opportunities.
There will be grants available from Kids' Club Network to support clubs who wish to take part in the programme.
