Welcome To
The Grenfell Club
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.
The Senior Section
For adults with physical and learning disabilities over the age of eighteen. The Senior Section is supported by a Leader in Charge. In addition, there is a team of seven dedicated support workers and several volunteers. Junior & Teenage Sections
The Grenfell Junior Section runs every Wednesday for children aged between 5-13 years old.
This evening session is planned each term. These are usually but not predominately, educationally based activities, such as healthy eating, local environment, staying safe, and the emergency services. The junior members meet once a month with the Junior Sections Leader-in-Charge Sam Jones, to request activities. Forth coming sessions include, scary mask making, Halloween fancy dress disco, pizza making, a jazz band show, ice hockey, bowling, and mass arts and crafts.
During the Wednesday session we have a break time at 7pm, so the children can have a drink and a biscuit. We also encourage siblings to come along to try a couple of our sessions.
