Here’s some details of a few small changes being made from this week:

👋 Staffing – Gina has left the youth team — a huge thank you to her for everything she’s done over the last 13 years! We wish her all the best! The recruitment process to find a replacement Youth Team Lead is underway, and the advert will be going out soon.

📅 Mondays – new booking system – We’re trialling a WhatsApp poll to make booking Monday sessions easier, instead of using the sign-up form.

  • 10 spaces will be available for each specific activity
  • The activity will be shared on the programme in advance
  • Booking will open on a Thursday for the following Monday.
  • If you’d rather not use the WhatsApp poll, you can contact reception on 01833 641010 to book a place

⏰ Thursdays – This is still a drop-in session, so no booking is required, but we are trialling an earlier start time of 5:30pm. This session is open to anyone in School Years 4 to 13 and finishes at 7:30pm.

👋 Meet Simon! – We’re really excited to welcome Simon, who is joining us from this Thursday. He’s looking forward to meeting and getting to know the young people. Simon has kindly offered to kick things off with a ‘Move It’ session as an introduction! 🏃‍♂️

💬 Messages – The current team will be monitoring this WhatsApp group and will respond to queries as soon as possible. If replies aren’t instant — please remember we all work full-time in other roles alongside this, so we’ll get back to you as quickly as we can.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST…..

📋 Here’s our new programme activities for the next few weeks – If there’s an activity you’d like to see on the lineup, be sure to let us know, and we can build it into future plans!

Thanks so much for your continued support — we really appreciate it! ❤️

We look forward to seeing you at the next session tomorrow night!
