We at Sporting Way run an Afterschool Homework Club for local children within Lewisham. Our provision is unique! We offer:

• academic support

• emotional well-being and mental health support

• sport and physical health activities

• a fun and safe environment

And the most important thing about our provision for local families is that it is free for all children attending.

The Grove Park Youth Club is situated in the Chinbrook area of Grove Park Ward, Lewisham and is an area identified as having high indices of multiple deprivation. This means we have children who have faced and continue to face a litany of adverse childhood experiences, let alone financial insecurity. Attending our Homework Club is the positive environment which gives them the solace they want and need.

We have dreams to do and be more for our local community; like offering healthy food snacks, holiday camps, day and residential trips! But let’s not get ahead of ourselves… at this present time, it is vital for us to make our provision sustainable and long lasting, after all, as the children’s dependence on our provision grows, we need to ensure we are there for them.

We hope you feel supporting us would be a worthy cause. All donations go towards the costs of the rental space, food for the children, resources and equipment and staffing. Anything after that would go towards external trips and maybe even more water fights :)
