Supporting Grove Vale

Grove vale youth club would like to expand our facilities to enable premises that are more accessible to a wider audience, by improving access through wider doors and step free entry points.

We feel it is essential to make this expansion, as we believe an easy to access area, open spaces and a welcoming and fun atmosphere with other young people will greatly improve the mental health and wellbeing of current and future children who attend the club.

Additionally, as a new special educational needs (SEN) primary school is being built directly across the road (Reedham street),any children who may wish to enquire about the club could also be welcomed into more accessible premises.

We are building for the future and your support could truly make this vision a reality and a place for more young people to enjoy.

We are grateful to JC Decaux whose generous donation in 2024 enabled us to purchase some new equipment for the youth club, including a new (digital) Infinity Games Table!!

We are also grateful to Brian Ridley, a club volunteer for many years, who left a legacy to the club. This enabled us to do some much needed refurbishing of the club floor, which the children and young people are enjoying today.

Thank you so much for your support. We could not fulfil our vision without the generous offering of our volunteers' time and talents and of course support from parents and our young people.

If cost is an issue, please do still come, and speak to the club leader to let them know your interest.

What about my shy kids?

You are welcome to stay and watch your child for the first session, for as long as it takes for them to feel comfortable.

We are confident that after a few sessions, your child will enjoy coming and you can confidently leave them until pick up time.

With over 70 years experience, we have dealt with a large variety of children and our team of volunteers are fully capable of working with your child and helping them enjoy integrating into the club!

The kids group activities vary depending on their age, but you can always expect a friendly welcome along with team games and possibly arts, crafts or cooking. Please pick your children up as soon as the club session finishes.

Why not come along and visit us. Introduce yourself to one of our team and we will do everything possible to help your child settle in.

Prize Giving

Our Youth group has many exciting activities and opportunities for young people to make friends, and enjoy a bit of friendly competition.

The children and young people collect points throughout the school year, with frequency of attendance and participation in competitive games comprising a key part.

Typically at the end of the school year in July, the club holds its annual parents evening / prize giving, giving awards and certificates to the children for various proficiencies (eg in sports or crafts).

Each age group/category has an award section for the children /young people attending that session, and attendance plays a huge part in earning points!
