This Summer the Crew Club worked in partnership with Hove YMCA and Extratime to provide a holiday scheme for young people with special needs and physical disabilities as part of the Aiming High initiative. The summer scheme ran for four weeks with 5 days of activities consisting of film workshops, music recording sessions, sport and cooking. There were trips to the local cinema and bowling alley. A portable climbing wall was also on offer to add to the action packed summer scheme.

 

Extratime is a registered charity which runs 3 after school clubs and associated holiday playschemes in the city of Brighton and Hove. These clubs and playschemes are fully inclusive, catering for children of 5 - 16 years from both mainstream and special needs schools. The children who come to us have a wide range of special needs; physical, learning and behavioural and we provide one-to-one support to those children who need it.

Hove YMCA helps over 5,000 young people across the City each year

We offer help to many different young people, but especially those who are isolated and struggling through homelessness, exclusion from school, family breakdown, poor mental health or drug and alcohol problems.

Alongside the summer programme the Crew Club will be providing trips out for local young people. This years trips will include Chessington World of Adventures, Swimming & Ice-skating and a visit to London.
