Charity Arts & Crafts Fair

Yatton and District Rotary are hosting a Charity Arts and Crafts Fair in Cleeve on 1st November. Four of the artists and makers are from Congresbury so it would be great to go and support them! Last year the event raised more than £700 for local charities including Yatton Foodbank, Friends of St Andrews Church Congresbury, Weston Hospice Care and other local good causes.

Congresbury Youth Partnership – Code Club

Congresbury Youth Partnership run a Code Club for young people aged 8 to 16 on Mondays in term time from 3.30pm to 5.30pm. Would be coders can drop in at any time after their school day finishes, and get involved with projects using SCRATCH and PYTHON coding languages and simple electronics.

These sessions are not like school; they are full of fun, hands on and providing very practical skills.  

Interest from adult volunteers with any basic IT skills who could support young people would be very welcome.  We would especially like to hear from young people looking for Duke of Edinburgh scheme placements meeting criteria for volunteering or skills units.  Contact us at congresburycodeclub@gmail.com, or drop in to Congresbury Youth Club during Monday sessions.
