Youth Clubs – opportunities for children and young people aged 11-17 to socialise in a safe environment with support and supervision. 4All Foundation run two youth clubs each week, Monday 4.30pm - 6pm at Hub on the Hill, Sutton Hill and Friday 4.30pm - 6.30pm at Arleston Community Centre.
Creative Arts – sessions centred around music, dance and drama, with an arts and crafts table available for those who want to be creative. 4All Foundation run three sessions each week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday 4.30pm - 6.30pm at Admaston House.
‘The creative arts session offers a range of activities in a relaxed and engaging environment. My daughter loved colouring and decorating t-shirts, bookmarks and keychains. The multi sensory display and activities help her stay calm and comfortable during the sessions. She has enjoyed interacting with the sensory toys, listening to her favourite songs and the relaxing sensory colourful lights. The creative arts session is perfectly designed to engage children with disabilities and we really appreciate the offer.’
Sports and Leisure – a varied sports session, supported by qualified sports coaches and care assistants to allow children and young people to have fun and be active. Genius Tuition run the session every Saturday morning 10-1pm at Southall School.
‘Geniuses person centred approach means they are working with me to build further independence and social skills within the session. My son enjoys the sessions and is excited to go. He already accesses staff who were unfamiliar to him when he started and socialises with other children, as well as undertaking new activities, such as the adapted bikes, passing a ping pong ball and practicing catching. Everything is done at his pace and I really feel like all the staff are as chuffed as me for every achievement with my son.’
