Activities at Swinton Lock

Swinton Lock Activity Centre provides an extensive range of activities and support for both young and old.

All our courses are accredited as we are an approved centre for delivering AQA Basic Unit Awards and National Community Boat Handling Qualifications.

At the heart of our programme are the re-engagement activities for young people. These currently run four days per week throughout the academic year.

We have a variety of activities available for young people that currently include spray can art, hair and wellbeing and construction.  We are looking at developing new activities in the autumn, so please contact us to find out more.  These students are usually referred through schools or other organisations who feel a more relaxed and informal approach to education is required.

Our service encourages and supports our young people using creative learning activities as a tool allowing them to develop new skills and work as part of a team, building on their personal and social skills and therefore giving them a sense of achievement.

We are able to do this in a number of ways;

• Through referral
• Group activity days
• Specialised workshops

Please contact the centre for more details.
