To all the families of Lindley Out of School Club

Your club needs you!

We know how important the Club is to working parents, so we appeal to you to come to a meeting to discuss how the Club is run and be involved in shaping Club decisions. Make sure that our Club remains open for you, your children and the staff we employ!

Our Club is only able to run because of parents’ attendance at Committee meetings. Meetings are held every 6/8 weeks and we ask you to attend at least one meeting a year.

It’s very important for parents to take an active role in the Club’s future by attending Committee meetings – all parents/carers are welcome & if we don’t have a Committee we don’t have a Club’.

Kenny Simpson – Previous Committee Chair

Below are some recent comments from our current committee members:

• ‘Being on the committee involves a couple of hours time every couple of months in the company of other working parents plus the amazing staff, to ensure LOSC runs well for our children. Tea and biscuits always available.’

• ‘I enjoy being part of the Committee, as I feel I am more involved in my daughter’s welfare’.

• ‘Being a committee member helps me shape the care of my child’.

• ‘Being part of the committee is important to me as without the committee, the club doesn’t exist.  This was my initial reason for joining.  Over the last few years I have been involved in a lot of decisions about how the club is run, from discussions about what snacks children should have at club, to recruiting new members of staff.  Its given me a real insight into the work that the whole team do and I can really see the impact that our input that we as parents have, to make sure the club continues to run.’
