Cludo Family

Join us for family fun this year!

We love families and children and think they're one of God's great ideas!  We know parenting can be hard work, sometimes lonely and often expensive, which is why we host free and low-cost family fun activities in the summer holidays and school half terms.  We are committed to supporting families of all shapes and sizes and building a community together who love and care for each other.  Connect this summer at Cludo, family days out & Muddy Play!

Volunteers with DBS checks will be supporting your child in all of these activities, many of whom have previous or current experiences working with children.
