“The support from local councillor Jeanette Prescott, community capacity officer Julie Clark and from teachers from surrounding schools has been fantastic.

“The uptake of our after school clubs is amazing considering they have only just began.

“We would like to say a big thank you to the community lottery fund for helping improve young children’s lives from across the borough.”

Anyone over the age of 14 can take part in the after-school clubs which run every Tuesday. To find out more visit their website or contact them on 01942 206253
