Anchors

Anchors...

The core age range for Anchors is from 5 to 8 years, although some local groups start from 4 years old.

We work with boys only.

The Programme

This age group has its own programme based on six areas: Get Active, Get Into the Bible, Get Creative, Get Learning, Get Adventurous and Get Involved. The emphasis is on fun and programme activities include games, crafts, stories and opportunities to learn and share in new experiences. Throughout their time in the Anchor Section, children can gain badges and recognition for their participation in the programme.

We meet weekly on a Friday from 6:30pm to 7:30pm between September and May. It caters for boys in Primaries 1, 2 and 3.

Weekly sessions include various activities such as indoor sports, games, crafts, cookery, and discussion and prayer time. A snack is provided during each session. If anyone would like to volunteer as a helper we are looking for energetic people who love working with children.

What it costs

Most groups charge a subscription which may be collected weekly, termly or annually and will usually be around £2-£3 per week. This said, we don’t want any child to miss out because of cost, so if you have any concerns about finance please speak to a leader in the local group in confidence about this.
