Afterschool Programme

We operate five afterschool services for young people aged from six to twelve, 2.30pm – 5.30pm five days of the week, 48 weeks of the year. 

Four services are run on site in local primary schools with one service operating from our 3 Usher Street premises. A service is delivered to approximately 120 young people at any one time.

Our Afterschool service is designed to provide young people with choice and respect, celebrating our attendees identity and talents. We facilitate extracurricular activities including swimming, football, music lessons arts and crafts, beekeeping and cooking and more as well as supporting attendees academically. Attendees are also provided with nutritious food on a daily basis.

Our service is led by a dedicated programme manager who engages with Home School Liaison Teachers and relevant agencies to provide wider family supports on an as required basis.

Our Afterschool Programme operates under the aegis of the Department of Children, Equality Disability, Integration and Youth (DCEDIY).
