Our Saturday Clubs are located in Bangor, Downpatrick, Gilnahirk, Hannahstown, and Saintfield. Each Club offers play, art and leisure opportunities on a fortnightly basis from September to June. The service operates in partnership with its primary funder HSCB Childcare Partnerships. Parents can apply to the service directly at 07825 657218.
