The Kids’ Clubs Project
The Kids' Clubs Project, a £5.7 million project part-funded by the European Union through the Welsh Assembly Government, ended in September 2008 after three years.
As a result of the project, clubs are better prepared for the future – better skills, a more qualified workforce, new clubs, and new places. 4800 people have received training. 116 new clubs have started, creating more than 2000 new places. 70 clubs received sustainability grants and support.
Furthermore, families who could not afford childcare fees or whose children need one-to-one support have benefited directly through the 481 extra hands grants and 236 assisted places grants awarded through the project.
The publications and resources produced during the project will support quality and innovation in out of school childcare clubs for years to come.
