Holiday Club – August 2019

The children and young people who attend the Afterschool Club had a great time at our Holiday Club which ran for 2 weeks during the August holidays.

The Holiday Club has become and integral and much-loved activity at the Asha Centre. Children and young people in the area are often isolated and bored during holiday time; family finances means that trips outside the neighbourhood are rare and overcrowding also causes family tensions.

With a focus on creativity, team work and simply having fun, the team ran a programme of varied activities including designing a greeting card, cookery, dancing, making a friendship band and team problem-solving activities.

The final day was a trip to Mount Lavinia beach where we splashed about in the sea, did a team beach clean-up and played parachute games!
