Let’s help young voices be heard on screen!

We’re delighted to announce that our Unity Support Network Afterschool Club is returning for a summer full of fun, learning, and adventures! Join us every Monday from 3 pm to 6 pm at Charterhouse Road Community Centre, with additional sessions on Tuesday evenings and Saturdays (dates to be confirmed soon!).

We have planned exciting activities, including theatre trips, visits to adventure playgrounds, museums, and other engaging outings that your children will absolutely love! Each outing will be clearly announced and communicated to parents or guardians in advance.

To join in, parents or guardians must complete a registration form for their child. A small contribution of just £2 per week helps us provide nutritious and enjoyable snacks throughout our sessions. Payments should be made to "Unity Support Network," and you will receive an invoice for each payment made.

Our club is open to children aged 8 to 15 years, and we’re committed to creating a welcoming, inclusive environment for all. Depending on your child’s age or specific needs, we may require parent, guardian, or carer involvement for certain activities—let’s work together to ensure every child thrives!

To register your child or for more details, please contact MJ at 07359431441 or email unitysncic@outlook.com.

Let’s make this summer unforgettable—filled with smiles, new friends, and wonderful memories. We can't wait to welcome everyone back!
