This Summer the Crew Club will be working in partnership with Sussex Central YMCA and Extratime to provide a holiday scheme for young people with special needs and disabilities as part of the Aiming High initiative. The summer scheme will run for four weeks with 5 days of activities consisting of art workshops, music recording sessions, sport and cooking. There will be trips to the local cinema and bowling alley and a portable climbing wall 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.

Sussex Central 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.
