A Social & Leisure Activities Club with something for everyone aged between 10 and 90.
To provide social & leisure activities for community members (most ages) who are disadvantaged by social or economic circumstances, in order for them to enjoy a better quality of life.
The Local Authority is re-locating Prescot's social & leisure facilities to outer areas; this combined with the deprivation that already existed has left our community lacking in services. So our club is fast becoming a hub where people can enjoy the old community spirit and get the community on the go again.
Why the community needs usKnowsley is listed as a top deprived area, this along with the recession leaves the community with many problematic issues such as low income families, unemployment, poor health, anti-social behaviour and isolation.
We provide social/leisure activities to suit all family members at a cost they can afford. They can cement new friendships, share life's experiences and rekindle the old community spirit. We house a Tea Room, IT Suite, Minigym, Therapies, Information/Signposting & Workshops.
Our impact on the communityIt reduces incidents of youth crime & people living in isolation; less people visit their GP which delays the need of a place in a care home; intergenerational skills enhance community spirit & mutual respect; workshops are invaluable to help enhance chances of employment; placements allow underachievers and unemployed mature graduates to work alongside each other and gain work experience; sports activities allow members to challenge/be challenged; and the elderly benefit from use of technology.
Volunteers need to be enthusiastic, reliable, able to work as part of a team or one their own, honest, trustworthy, good time keepers, respect other peoples opinions, be willing to attend training courses and have a good appearance. A nice attitude to all ages.
Experience or qualifications will not be necessary as this will be dealt with once the volunteer has proved worthy of a post.
