Coathangers Youth Club

Coathangers Youth Club We are an independent, voluntary run youth club for all 7-11 year olds. We run from 6.30-8.00 Tuesda Sadly in 2012, The Bridge Centre closed.

Coathangers Youth Group is one of Derbyshire's longest running and most successful, non-affiliated youth groups for 7-11 year olds. It was developed in 1989 in response to the growing need for after school sports and art provisions. For many years the youth group was situated in the heart of Aldercar, at the Infant school. In 2000, in support of the newly opened Bridge Centre in Langley Mill, Coat

hangers relocated to enjoy a success that could never have been deemed possible before. The majority of the young people that attended lived in and around the Langley Mill and Aldercar area, but youngsters were now travelling in from Heanor, Loscoe, Eastwood and Marlpool. This success was entirely the result of the volunteers that run Coathangers and the young people that attended, who generated great ideas on how they thought their club should be run. Undeterred, after a short closure we were lucky enough to be invited to our present location, St Lawrence's Church, Heanor Market Place, where we attract youngsters from several local junior and primary schools. Our goal at Coathangers is simple - to provide extraordinary sporting and arts services and opportunities to the young people we serve, whilst maintaining an enjoyable, yet safe environment.

Well despite the slightly disappointing football last night, and the barmy weather, we had a good night. The kids were treated to hotdogs, pizza and a few other treats. Our theme last night was the football, so we were having a few games and concluded with a penalty shoot-out.

Last week, they wanted the different construction kits out and were making little creatures with scraps that we have left.

Despite nearing the end of the academic year, we are always happy to see new faces. So if you want your kids making and doing or a bit of sports, instead of a screen in their hands, give us a go. 😃

Finally, stay safe in the sun 😎

What a fabulous couple of weeks!! Kids have been creative as ever, making and growing. Loads of different sporting equipment out as well.

We're steadily seeing new faces, which we love and best of all, despite the kids coming from multiple schools, every one of them is welcoming. They truly are an incredible bunch.

Even though we're getting towards the end of the academic year, new members are always welcome, so please like and share this post.

Hope everyone had a relaxing half term? Just a reminder we are back tonight. See you later!

Sorry, this should have come out Tuesday evening.

Over the past couple of weeks the kids have been making teddies, doing foil scrapes, playing badminton and volleyball as well as loads of parachute games. As it was the last night before half term we had a chippie supper.

So, we are away next week. However, we will be back the week after, that's the 2nd June.

We have a few new members recently, which we greatly appreciate, but there's always room for more. Please pass this onto anyone who you might think is interested. And don't forget, the first week is free for new members.

Have a fantastic half term. Keep safe 😎

To all our Year 6's, who are doing their SAT's this week. Good luck from the volunteers at Coathangers 🌟

Good morning All, it's been busy, busy! The kids ask and we try and provide. Over the past two weeks, they've been:

Block printing
Den building
Archery
Straw and pattern painting
Badminton
Gymnastics
Sewing a guinea pig...
..amongst other things.

Some of them have already asked what they want out next week.

We have sent leaflets around the local schools and posters in several businesses, however, word of mouth always seems the best form of advertising. Please show our Facebook or Instagram page someone who might enjoy these activities and many, many more.

Good morning All, we hope you're all well?

It's been great to see the kids back after the holidays. Both weeks the kids have been den building, jewel art, gym/dance practice, making book markers and creating still-frames. We really do have a creative bunch!!

We've also had the balance boards out, had the music on and the regular stuff, such as table football, darts and pool.

If your child fancies trying these activities and much much more, come along for a free first session.
