Projects

Home From Home started in January 2023 with a grant from East Devon District Council and has been going from strength to strength.

We have now moved from the Younghayes Centre to EX5-Alive and our next session will be on Wednesday 20th November 2024. We are open every Wednesday between 10am - 2pm and we offer FREE play, crafts, refreshments and cost of living advice. Everyone is welcome.  Just submit an enquiry below if you need more information or drop on by. We all meet in Cranbrook Education Campus Reception before we walk down to the hub. This is a great space to find out about what's happening in the community or if you need signposting to other groups.

As part of EX5-Alive we have an amazing EAL Coordinator who helps to support our migrant families. The role ensures our families get the support they need within the community and advocate for the child's voice. Many of our families have made harrowing journeys to get to a place of safety to find life is also complicated in the UK. Here are EX5-Alive we will continue to hear and find resolution for these families who want the same start, rights and access as everyone else. We believe that everyone deserves equal opportunity and we will thrive to make sure our children are hear. For any information please contact chloe.bodycombe@cranbrook,education  

We welcome everyone in the community who has an idea. All of our projects started from the views of the community. We have held various listening events across Cranbrook since 2019 and we aim to continue to listen to the community. Get in touch below and be part of building your community. You never know what might be the next great thing.

Culture Club started in January 2023 with a grant from Recovery Devon and the Devon Mental Health Alliance. Unfortunately Boy George doesn't attended but we have supported over 20 families in Cranbrook who wanted to make new friends. Our families are from all over the world and food is a major feature of our group. We have held a Curry and Quiz evening, celebrated different New Years and even had a potato party! Held twice a month on a Thursday between 5:30pm - 7:30pm. They have a Whats App group and just follow the link to the Facebook page

Starting in February 2024  after half term. We aim to make movement accessible for all in Cranbrook with interactive courses costing £1 or FREE.  We will use boxing machines to punch in time to the music and online strength training to have fun altogether as a group of friends or as a family. This will be a community space for everyone to enjoy. So the more you all use the more we can invest in you!
