Welcome to the Grenfell Club
The Grenfell Club started life over forty years ago in a large house in Redcar with about a dozen children attending along with parents and interested people. Members of the Cleveland Society (MENCAP) felt that there was a need somewhere for their children to have a couple of hours recreation on their own. This at the same time would provide parents and carers with some much needed respite. Many of the original children still attend the Grenfell and have seen it grow over the years.
The Grenfell Club is committed to
the provision of a special place for people of varying abilities and age, to develop social and communication skills through leisure activities. We achieve this by having a friendly team of 15 staff and 26 volunteers and we hope to maximise each member's potential.

About Us
The Grenfell became so popular with an ever growing membership that a larger building had to be found. In the early 1970's the present building was built and officially opened in 1972 by Lord and Lady Grenfell. The Club has prospered and expanded providing leisure activities for its 250 members from all over the borough and beyond. The club opens five nights a week offering a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Members enjoy a wide variety of activities including, Arts and Crafts, Healthy Eating, Wii Fit & Singstar, Multi-Sensory Room, Discos, Coffee Bar, Soft Play, Quiz's and a Snooker & Pool Room.
