Club Creative is working in partnership with the Main Project to provide a regular Saturday Club for children and young people with disabilities. The service is by referral through a social worker only and will provide breaks for families of children and young people with a wide range of disabilities.

Club Creative would like to invite creative practitioners from the following disciplines to register their interest in providing 2hr sessions. The aim will be to engage the group effectively with creative activity and in the longer term to teach new creative skills and techniques. The most important requirement however will be to provide quality, engaging, participative creative sessions for a pan disability group.

Creative areas are as follows: Drama, Visual Arts, Film Making, Circus Skills, Drumming/percussion.

Because the exact nature and requirements of the group is unknown at this stage, it is likely that we will initially provide a range of taster sessions. Once we have feedback from the group, we will then book in up to 6 weeks of sessions in one particular activity.

The start date and location are currently still TBC but the Main Project are working hard to get everything confirmed and it is hoped that the Saturday Clubs will start within the next month. The location will be in the Teesside area. It is thought the clubs will run from 11am – 3pm, to include two different 2hr sessions.

If you are interested in being involved please register your interest here and include your name, details of past experience, the nature of the workshop you would offer, and of course your contact details.

As well as a fee for delivery, there will be training opportunities in how to deal with disabilities offered through the Main Project.

Step Up 7 in Pickering & Malton was a two week summer school for Y6 pupils held in their new secondary schools. Four creative workshops each day made for a fun packed two weeks with 12 Club Creative staff working each day.

In Saltburn artists Derek Mosey and Helen Gaunt created two large mosaics that are now hung in the main entrance and main corridor of the new school to welcome all vistitors. They look amazing. These pics are work in progress.
