A safe space for Neuro-diverse children
SEND After School
Croydon's first, FREE, historic SEND after-school club (2023), offers a safe and fun play-based learning environment. Children can engage in various activities. Join us for an exciting after-school experience, including cultural trips that help children with special educational needs connect with others while learning important life skills.
SEND children are nurtured and supported by trained adults and young mentors with a SEND diagnosis. Join us for an enriching experience.
The Odd Girl In Club
Is for girls who share the common experience of living in Croydon, being aged 13-19-years and feeling excluded, due to SEND, death of a parent/carer, refugee or LAC (Looked After Child ) background.
The 12-month project offers life changing and culturally appropriate support to these young women.
Through art and craft therapy, special excursions & cultural trips, we delicately build a community, where young Black and minoritised women can lead, grow and be heard.
Grass2Grades - A sports & maths programme
In partnership with Cre8 football (a not-for-profit sports organisation based in Croydon and Lambeth), we launched a pilot project, grass2grades. The aim of this innovative project was increasing the confidence, enjoyment and academic achievement of many primary school aged boys. We supported the progression of young footballers, through additional Maths tutoring before each football training session. This was at the crucial time in their learning, ahead of them transitioning into secondary school. We offer children the opportunity to take part in positive physical activity by creating an environment where children can learn, develop and enjoy.

A thankful Carer
​ BF4A after-school club is fantastic and inclusive and have been amazing for my son. He has grown in confidence, tried new activities and has somewhere that supports his needs. He really enjoys it there.
The staff were very helpful in both understanding his needs and supporting his access to the provision. This is the first time my son has been able to participate in a holiday club. Thank you so much for your hard work in making it inclusive.
