RAY Actif Juniors: Weekly nurture group for 6 to 11 year-olds

What we do…

RAY Actif for 6 to 11 year-olds runs on Wednesdays after school in term time and one day a week in school holidays

We provide a safe space for children who may be facing challenges, with staff trained in playwork, we have free activities that follow the children’s interests, and include bushcraft, rock pooling, den building, role play, cookery, carpentry, and trips out to local places of interest. We provide free healthy snacks and a meal at every session helping families in a county with the second highest rate of Child Poverty in Wales.

Places are limited for this group and there is a waiting list, so please contact us with any enquiries.
