Early years after school club

A Portsmouth school is seeking enthusiastic volunteers to assist with their Early Years After-School Club, catering to children in Year R through Year 1.

As a volunteer, you will work alongside staff to provide additional support and engage children in a variety of fun and interactive activities that promote physical development.
