| Dream Scheme
Targeted at the 8-13 year group, this runs once a week at the centre. Young people come along and carry out creative activities. Part of the Dream Scheme’s objective is to promote active citizenship within the local community and the organiser arranges 'community jobs' that the young volunteers carry out, this Dream Scheme - could be washing peoples car, helping with shopping or gardening. Each young volunteer then collects points for the community work that they do and then can spend the points on an activity of their choice such as Adventure Day Out, visiting a Theme Park, going bowling, Cinema etc. |
