Curiosity Club

Curiosity Club is a free weekly club for recently arrived and refugee children aged 8–13. It’s a safe, welcoming space for young people to meet others, have fun, and build confidence.

Each session starts with dinner provided, giving children time to relax, eat together, and connect.

Activities then focus on:
• Creative play & expression – fun arts and performance activities that build confidence and imagination
• Making connections – helping children make friends and feel part of their new community
• Life skills & wellbeing – interactive activities that support social and emotional development
• Kindness & care – all sessions are guided by empathy, respect, and positive encouragement

We were previously taught that art is a paintbrush and paper but today has shown us that art is a huge world. City Lions is a good thing to do as it provides really good opportunities to visit places like this (Somerset House).
