The Need

Many children in this weekly club come from deprived, single-parent homes in Lakenham, where 36% of families lack stability. With 44% on free school meals and 39% of 10-11-year-olds overweight, more kids are staying indoors on screens instead of being active.

24% of Norfolk’s most deprived children aged under five have had no contact with children’s centres.

Excessive screen time and social media are contributing to rising mental health issues among young people in Norwich. We provide a safe, social, and engaging space to help them connect, have fun, stay active, and support their well-being.

What we offer

Our fun and engaging youth group helps children step away from screens and into exciting activities that build friendships, confidence, and essential life skills. Each week, kids take part in a variety of games, cooking, Bible stories, and discussions, all designed to encourage healthy lifestyles and personal growth.
