Our aim is to improve their confidence, self-esteem and enjoyment of life.
We take the children out on trips - to the cinema, to an adventure playground, to museums and theatres, climbing, kayaking, etc - and we also do fun activities at our base, such as games and arts and crafts. These are great opportunities for the children and young people to experience new and exciting activities that they wouldn't do otherwise. It helps to develop their confidence and self-esteem, and also their fluency in English - and they're also great fun!
We need your help supervising the children whilst we are out on trips and helping with the activities.
