Fire club
Every Wednesday we eat (bananas on pasta) relax, talk and dance! Written by The Lady of MPower.

Dynamic Wednesday
Every Wednesday. We do music, drumming, dj-ing, basketball, football, painting and cooking. The club is energetic and friendly. Written by Aziah.

 
CJ club
Every Friday. It is chilled, calm but a bit wild! We play around, build dens, go in soft play and sometimes we do drama. We eat pitta bread and cheese, sometimes tuna and sweet corn. I enjoy being on CJ club because my best friend from school is there. It is a good way to relax after school. Written by Zac.

MPower
MPower is a group of young people of all abilities. Everyone in the group either has a disability or has a family member with one. At MPower we call the shots. If we see something going wrong we do something about it. For example the adventure playground and BMX park. At MPower our dream is to cut out in-inequality in the world!!! WE ARE HERE TO STAY!!! Written by Obinna.
