After School Club at Holy Family Catholic Church Patchway

Looking for a place where your child can hang out after school, finish homework, and make friends? Our after school club does exactly that, and it’s right here at Holy Family. We keep things simple: a welcoming space, caring volunteers, and activities that mix fun with a little faith.

What the After School Club Offers

Every weekday we open our doors at 3:30 pm. Kids can dive into board games, sports, arts and crafts, or a quiet corner for reading. We also set aside time for homework help – teachers and university students are on hand to guide without taking over. Every week we sprinkle in a short story or a short prayer, keeping the club grounded in our Catholic values without being preachy.

Our schedule is flexible. On Mondays we focus on creative projects, so you’ll see lots of paint, glue and recycled materials. Tuesdays are sport‑focused – from football to simple fitness circuits – perfect for kids who need to burn off energy. Wednesdays bring community service ideas, like packing care packages for local shelters. Thursdays we explore science experiments that are safe and exciting. Fridays end the week with a movie night or a group game, giving everyone a chance to unwind before the weekend.

How to Get Involved

Signing up is a breeze. Just swing by the church office after Mass, fill out a short form, and pay a modest weekly fee that covers snacks and materials. If you need financial help, let us know – we’re happy to adjust the cost so no child is left out.

Parents can stay involved too. We ask for a volunteer for at least one afternoon a month. It could be helping with a craft, leading a game, or simply supervising the snack table. Volunteering is a great way to meet other families and see how the club runs.

Why choose our club over other options? First, safety is a top priority. All volunteers are vetted, and we keep a low child‑to‑adult ratio. Second, the environment encourages both learning and faith. Kids leave feeling confident about their school work and a little more connected to their community.

Kids love the routine. They know they’ll get help with math, a chance to run around, and a moment to talk about their day. Parents appreciate the peace of mind that comes with a structured, caring setting. And the church benefits from a stronger bond with local families, which fuels future events and outreach.

Ready to give your child a place they’ll look forward to after the school bell? Drop by the church lobby, grab a brochure, or call us at 01234 567890. We’re excited to welcome you into our after school family and watch every child grow in confidence, friendship, and faith.
