Saturday Scene
This club meets fortnightly on Saturdays, 10am until 12.30pm for children aged 6 to 11. Children have the opportunity to take part in many activities including baking, arts and crafts, using the sensory suite and visits to the local park. The Saturday Scene runs on alternate Saturdays to enable as many families as possible to benefit.
Summer Playscheme
Runs for 5 weeks over the summer holidays. There is a very lively programme of activities, both on and off site, suitable for all abilities. The scheme is for young people aged 6 to 18 who must be referred to Parkside through Hampshire Social Services.
Teen Zone
The focus for this group is exploring activities in the community, encouraging social inclusion and practising life skills. Two groups of teenagers attend on alternative Saturdays from 1pm until 5pm with several one-to-one support places being offered within the club. The scheme runs for 14 to 19 year olds. Every term there is a new programme of activities for teenagers to participate in with all activities being chosen by the teens themselves.
After School Club
The after school club is very popular with young people and parents alike. The club members eat their tea at the club and enjoy a wide choice of activities such as games, crafts, cooking and also unwinding in the sensory suite. It runs on Mondays from 3.30pm until 7.00pm. A cooked meal is available or children can bring along their own.
