A collation of useful links for parents and carers to utilise during lockdown.

The St Andrew's Club annual President's Reception took place on 12 March. Read on to find out how it went!

Some child friendly website links and social media advice to follow whilst the Club is closed

St Andrew’s Club takes the health and safety of its youth workers, members, volunteers, office staff and other users and hirers of the building very seriously and having consulted with staff and others, Trustees of the Club have agreed to close for members and Gym members from Wednesday 18 March until further notice, following Government recommendations that a. Londoners in particular, should work from home – including our evening youth workers; and b. that everyone should avoid gatherings and crowded places. With other Youth Hubs in Westminster and the Young Westminster Foundation, we will be developing a dedicated web page with information for parents with links to online sites recommended by youth workers as safe and educational, as well as around a ‘virtual Club’ to maintain contact with young people through social media approaches and digital outreach during this potentially isolating time. Please bear with us while we develop these resources. One of the Club’s two minibuses will still be available for community hire, however, the hirer will have to sign a disclaimer to have the bus professionally valeted before its return. The Club will be deep cleaned whilst closed so it is ready for action as soon as the situation improves. We are deeply grateful to all our supporters and funders and trust that your support will continue in this time of need, as we aim to continue to employ our part-time youth workers and give them access to paid-for online training and development whilst they are based at home. As all full-time staff are now working remotely from home, please email: info@standrewsclub.com if you have any questions relating to any of the content above.
