After School Club just 50p at Blackburn Youth Zone

Blackburn Youth Zone is launching a brand new low cost childcare service for 8 -13year olds with excellent youth workers and fantastic activities amongst a lengthy list of positives.

Beginning Monday 7th September 2015, Blackburn Youth Zone will be running ‘After School Club’, which is designed to help parents balance work and family commitments while providing children with a fantastic choice of activities to get involved in, including games, sports, arts and more. After School Club is open to 8-13 year olds every weekday during term time from 3:30PM until 6:00PM, and costs just 50p per day.

“We are really excited to be working in partnership with local schools to offer affordable but amazing activities to as many children in Blackburn with Darwen as possible,” said Leigh Culverwell, Blackburn Youth Zone’s Junior Club Manager. “ We are open 365 days per year for young people, which makes us a fantastic resource for parents, carers and children.”

Blackburn Youth Zone will work closely with participating schools in the area to offer pupils escorted walking buses for free, along with pickups in Blackburn Youth Zone’s minibus for just an extra 50p – to make sure children can get to the club safely and easily.

Of course, After School Club is not just open to only those collected from school: any child aged 8–13 is welcome to join the club weekdays from 3:30pm till 6:00pm. And as if the After School Club offer couldn’t get any better, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, members can stay for Junior Club until 8:30pm for no extra cost! That’s 3:30pm–8:30pm for just 50p.

Junior Club has all kinds of activities for members to take part in such as climbing, futsal, dance, gym, and more, plus frequent special workshops including parkour, drumming, photography, and all kinds of other events.
