Pilmeny Primary 1 Club

*Pilmeny Primary 1 Club resumes Monday 16th January*

Mondays Funded By The Gannochy Trust and Comic Relief

The Pilmeny Primary 1 Club is funded as a direct result of funding from the The Gannochy Trust, Comic Relief and The Bank of Scotland Foundation. Designed for children taking those first steps into primary education, The PP1 Club aims to provide a safe, fun environment for local children to interact and develop their social skills. Acting as a gateway to our already successful out of school programme, the project aims to encourage healthy lifestyles by use of active play and nutritional education.

Session activities will range from active play and indoor sports to arts and crafts and music. Providing sessions tailored specifically to an age group that is often forgotten about allows us to focus on the children as individuals and provide them with key skills that will serve them well as they move up both at school and through our club programme.

The clubs will function right through the school terms but will take short breaks during the school holidays. Small snacks will be provided free at each session. The Pilmeny Youth Centre will be used as our main base, but we hope to get out and about as much as possible, weather permitting, for small outdoor games. Qualified staff will attend the club sessions and funds are also set aside for any trips or outings we may arrange. Our programme will be flexible and moulded to suit the needs of the children and will be wide and varied

Sessions Run on Mondays 15:30-16:30

Further details on all aspects of the club can be obtained from the youth centre. Pop in at the office or call 0131 554 0953 during office hours.
