‼️INFORMATION‼️

Changes to our clubs and groups.

Following our recent board meeting our trustees have decided to make the following changes to our service delivery.

As with our sessions during the summer our toddlers and teenies/inbetweenies group will continue to be merged and will run on Mondays and Fridays 10am to 1130am.

From September onward our ASN group will run every second Saturday 10am to 1130am.

Our Juniors group will now run once per week on Thursdays from 4pm to 530pm.

We will also be trialing some changes to our registration system. We will open up all the sessions for the month at once to reduce the duplication of efforts both by our users and staff.

We hope all these changes will allow us to continue serving all our community and provide high quality services.

During this time we hope to work with our users, service partners and the wider community to source funding for new programmes to meet the needs in the community.
