Summer 2025 is here

 

At last, we have a summer programme - and all thanks to funding from the fab people at Garelochhead Bowling Club who raised £1k for us last year!
There may be a few more bits and pieces to add, but we will keep you updated as we are currently working on them...but needed to get this launched!
A few things...the trip to Oban and SAMS is still to be confirmed, but if any issues, we will update those booked on it with a fab alternative (we should know more early next week).
Consent forms are being emailed out 18 june to parents and paper copies will be available to collect 19th June between 5.30 and 6.30pm from the Hub.
How to book: either email consent form back to Michelle back or email with choices and then return the form to the office on one of the dates on the Consent form.

All about Route 81

The Hub

New for 2025 Toasty Tuesday, Bake off and don't forget last Friday of the month, NO HUB but an out and about adventure.
 
Toasty Tuesday has finished for the Summer but lookout for its return in Autumn.
 

 Friday night in the Hub


Friday Night youth sessions take place in the Youth Hub - enter by door at bottom of driveway. There will be a cafe bar selling drinks and snacks.
For those attending the first session, this is a closed session, which means the doors will be locked at 6.20 and young people will stay in for the full session. it will not be monitored if young people are picked up after the session, they will be free to leave. If you specifically want your son/daughter kept in the Hub until you arrive, you must notify us in writing as soon as possible. If your son/daughter needs to leave before the end of the session, please can you let us know - please note that messenger and emails will not be checked after 4pm on the Friday. 
The second session for S2+ is a drop -in which means young people can pop in whenever suits and leave when suits (like popping into a cafe) . 
Sessions are FREE but young people must have a valid membership.
If your son/daughter wants to bring a friend who is not a member get in touch and i will email a membership form.
And i think that's it! Any questions, just get in touch.
Looking forward to Fri Sessions being back on again!
