What is Kids @ S4F

Kids@S4F is a welcoming and inclusive club for children aged 5 to 12 years from families affected by drug or alcohol misuse, poverty, or mental health challenges. We provide a safe space where children can build friendships, develop essential life skills, and receive the support they need.

​

Through engaging activities, emotional support and skill-building opportunities, Kids@S4F helps children grow in confidence, express themselves, and feel valued as part of a caring community.

Activities That Inspire

Our sessions offer a vibrant mix of fun and learning - sparking creativity, building teamwork, and supporting personal growth. Children take part in arts and crafts, outdoor games, storytelling, cooking, and more, with activities shaped by what they enjoy and ask for. We listen, adapt, and co-create to make sure every child feels seen, valued, and excited to join in.

2

Emotional & Social Support

We understand that children benefit most when they feel safe, supported, and connected.

Our team creates a nurturing, trauma-informed environment where children can express themselves freely, build resilience, grow in confidence, and form positive relationships. Every interaction is shaped by compassion, consistency, and care—supporting not just the child, but their wider family and community too.

A Safe & Inclusive Space

Every child is welcomed with care. Safety and wellbeing are at the heart of our sessions, which are led by experienced staff and volunteers who create positive, supportive environments.

We celebrate diversity, nurture belonging, and make sure every child feels valued - whatever their background or life circumstances. It’s a space to grow, play, and thrive.
