 Children's Programme
The programmes and activities are structured to support
and assist the personal development of your child. We
encourage participants to make new friends and take part
in activities which will give them basic skills to benefit
them in later life. Having FUN is a core value of the
project. Core activities might include: Learn to Swim,
Drama, Arts & Crafts, Trampoline, Cookery, Fun Tennis,
Sign Language, Football, Gymnastics, Learn to Draw etc.
Also special events throughout the year.
All programmes are subject to change and are selected as
a result of the family profiles undertaken on an annual basis.
We currently have resources to provide programmes for
children from P2-P7. All activities are held after school
until 7.00 pm at the latest. These programmes take place at
various locations including, the PAKT Club House, Leisure
Centre, local Schools and Community Centres.
PAKT also has a summer programme consisting of a Summer
Scheme which runs for 3 weeks for PAKT Kids and 3 weeks
open house for teenagers.
 Teenager Programme
The teenager club is held once a week on a Thursday evening
7.30 to 11 p.m. An open house also operates for the
teenagers to drop in anytime. Residential's and special
events are also organised throughout the year. Teenagers
are encouraged to participate in training opportunities.
Family Programme
The family programme is designed to build upon the
relationships forged through the Children's and Parent's
Programme, thereby extending friendships. The family is
at the heart of the PAKT Project and families are
encouraged to spend time together through a range of
activities which include: Days Away, Spring and Summer
Challenges, Bar-b-ques etc.
 Parent's Programme
The aim of the parent's programme is to provide support
for parents where they feel it is needed. PAKT believes
that by giving parents the opportunity to come together
to socialise and share their experiences of parenting, we
can work together to build a better future for our families
and our community. The activities organised in this
programme are selected and shaped by the parents and carers
who get involved. Some core activities could include:
Adult Educational Courses, First Aid, CLAIT Fitness,
Socialising, Craft activities, etc.
Volunteer Programme
When you become a PAKT Volunteer you become a member of
a very vibrant and energetic team. The team will meet
regularly to discuss volunteer issues, for training and
socialising. We are always on the look out for more
volunteers-so please do consider giving us some of your
valuable time. Volunteers assist in various ways: - Supervising the children, marking the register etc.
- Assisting tutors to deliver activities.
- Help with one-off family events.
- Assisting with the running of the Summer Scheme.
PAKT programmes depend upon the excellent assistance
which parent volunteers and others provide. |
