Clubs during Covid-19
Youth Clubs are currently operating by Zoom only. For up to date information email our Youth Team on youthclubs@coxhoeparishcouncil.gov.uk.
Coxhoe youth club will return to face to face session as soon as it is safe to do so. These sessions will differ to before in that to ensure we remain safe we restrict numbers and use a booking form system. More information will be posted as we are able to open.
Coxhoe & Quarrington Hill Youth Club Sessions
Virtual Sessions (young people do not need to be a member to join)
These are split into school year groups as follows:
Years 1 and 2
Years 3 and 4
Years 5 and 6
Year 7 plus
We aim to be flexible and as supportive as possible during these difficult times. If your child would prefer to have a session with just themselves and their friendship group please contact us at youthclubs@coxhoeparishcouncil.gov.uk and we will aim to facilitate as best we can.
The days and times of these change due to availability and to better meet the needs of the young people, more information can be found on the Coxhoe and Quarrington Hill Young People Facebook page, or alternatively email us at youthclubs@coxhoeparishcouncil.gov.uk.
We are also hoping to introduce a homework help club to assist young people in home learning.

Due to track and trace we need all out young people to complete our online youth club membership form. This is so we have updated information for your child/ren – the youth club membership form is here or through the link above.
Entry
As we are limiting numbers, parents must book their child on to the youth club via our booking form.
You will then receive a confirmation email if your child has successfully gained a spot. These will go out weekly, so please do not be disheartened if you do not get a place one week. Please do not turn up if you have not reserved a place. Please do not attend youth club if you are self isolating or have any symptoms.

About the Youth Clubs
Coxhoe Parish Council have employed and sustained a youth team who deliver all the youth clubs above. In total there are 104 members of our Youth Clubs. You can read about our team on our Meet Our Children and Young People Team page. Our staff undertake a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check and there is always a member of staff with emergency first aid training.
We have a monthly schedule which caters for all of our members which include:
Air Hockey Table
Xbox and Wii Games
Arts and Crafts
Dance
Football
Dodgeball
Minute to win it challenges
Scavenger Hunts
Tuck Shop
Cooking, and
Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM) Activities
We also have access to the Active Life Centre Astro Turf, Sports Hall and Dance Studio.
In addition, our Senior Youth Club have access to hot drinks and the Active Life Centre Wifi. Please note the password changes regularly, therefore young people only have access to this whilst they are at youth club.
We also access local sporting organisations to give our young people more opportunities. We also hold Christmas and Summer activities for our young people. Last year we held a Christmas Talent show for both parents and young people to showcase their talents. This event also included a variety of stalls, hot chocolate and mince pies.
Ambassador Programme
We believe in giving young people the opportunity to reach their full potential. At our Coxhoe Senior Section their were a number of members who expressed they wanted to volunteer at the junior section. As a result we therefore developed an ambassador programme.
Young people are able to apply to be apart of this programme to help support the youth team as well as the junior section. They help with activities and provide positive role models to our younger members.
Our ambassadors also take part in the key fund project which helps young people to get together to think, plan, do and review their own projects to make them a reality. This has recently resulted in a ‘inflatable fun day’ for our Coxhoe youth clubs.
To find out more information on this programme contact us on youthclubs@coxhoeparishcouncil.gov.uk.
