art attack
Every week for an hour and a half, the Art
Attack team led a creative adventure trying
out fresh artistic ideas! For all junior aged
children, this activity allowed them to build,
glue, staple and paint both individually and
in groups with many projects based around
relevant issues such as healthy eating and
recycling. They came and stretch their imagination.
Fresh fruit and drinks are provided. Continued

breakfast clubs
Every morning during term time, selected pupils
of local schools had the opportunity to attend
our Breakfast Clubs. Run in partnership with
the schools and providing a nutritional start
to the day, the children learn how to prepare
their own breakfast, socialise and eat healthily.
Studies prove that children are more receptive
to learning and better prepared for the day
if they have had breakfast, so starting an
hour before school, the clubs also allowed
time for structured play. Continued

crew
This was an after-school activity that took
children and young people on outings in the
local area. Crew is for anyone aged 5 to 16
who would benefit from social activities and
the team picked them up from home in a minibus
and dropped them off around two hours later.
The focus was on getting to know each other
and having fun, while regular trips include
swimming, hiking, bowling, and exploring the
countryside. Crew members were often referred
by friends, parents or agencies that we work
closely with. Fresh fruit and drinks are provided.
dance nation
This was an after-school dance class for girls
aged 7 to 11, which taught modern dance routines
to current chart music for one hour each week.
As well as having fun, making new friendships
and exercising, the girls are taught about
healthy lifestyles and got the chance to perform
their dances at various shows. Fresh fruit
and drinks were provided. Continued

summer soccer school
Run in partnership with a local football team,
the Summer Soccer School occurs late July
for 3 days on Flora McDonald Junior School
Playing Field. With around 70 places and a
low price the event always proves hugely popular.
Open to boys and girls of all ranges and abilities
aged 8 to 11, the training helps them develop
their football skills. The School finishes
off with a World Cup style Tournament. To
be continued by the new project LA-UK
the jump
Imagine a fun-filled disco for junior aged
children, which includes music, games, competitions
and refreshments. The Jump was usually held
on the last night of the Live Wires Playschemes
and allows space for large numbers of children
to socialise with one another and enjoy themselves
in a safe environment.
live wires
These children’s playschemes ran during school
holidays and were always packed out with up
to 350 children at a time! For children aged
5 to 11, the games, songs, stories, drama
and craft where just part of the experience,
but it’s our world famous gunge tank that
was the real highlight. Of course, as well
as having a lot of fun, the children learnt
new skills; increase their confidence and
experience teamwork. Running from 10am to
12:30pm between 1 and 5 days, we also had
around sixty volunteers who we trained in
a variety of issues including leadership skills,
communication and child protection. To

They're funny, sweet and
occasionaly naughty, in fact they are the
future, so it makes sense to invest some time
into them now.
That's why we provide a wide range of activities
from creative play through to early preventative
work on social exclusion.
To get a feel for how it all works, have a
look at the activities on the right. |
