Cranbrook Out of School and Holiday Club
Community Development
We need to replace our 14 year old mini-bus which is used to transport children to and from club and outings. It needs extensive repairs.
About this cause
We are a breakfast and out of school club serving Cranbrook, Sissinghurst and Colliers Green Primary schools. We provide children with a safe,caring and happy environment to enjoy a healthy breakfast or light tea and play with their friends, then transport children to and from their schools using our mini-bus. Parents can leave their children at 7.45am and collect them at 6pm, enabling them to work a full day. We were established in 2005 and have our own purpose built mobile. We can use the extensive grounds of Cranbrook Primary School. We also run a holiday club for all children aged 4 -11 enabling parents to continue to work during the holidays. We are registered with Ofsted. We have 3 staff with enhanced DBS checks and are run by a voluntary committee of trustees.
How this cause brings people in the community together
We are invaluable to working parents. We are the only Breakfast and Out of School club in the area that transport children to and from school for parents. If we were to lose our mini-bus, many parents would be unable to work. Not all parents can rely on relatives to look after their children and they know that we will be reliable and that their children will be happy and safe.
