Last Saturday (November 24th) Bob and Sean from the trustees and Graham from the staff team went and collected a cheque from the Co-op in Crookes for £5954 towards our activities with young people. See photos in the gallery.

This was raised by Co-op members by spending money in stores near the Hillsborough area, and Saturday was a celebration and thanks to all those involved including BGCSY and the two other local charities who benefitted.

Spring Residential 2018

Thu, 07 Jun 2018 15:14:13 GMT

During the May Half Term we went away with members from the Double Six and Rotherham-Blackburn youth clubs to the Lake District, please see the photos in the gallery.

The trip got off to a less than auspicious start with a mechanical failure temporarily leaving one of our minibus's stranded on the side of the A1, but later in the evening we were all reunited at the beautiful High Row centre in Cumbria. On day 2, the group was split with half doing Canoeing and Cliff-jumping on Ullswater (thanks to Rob from Ormside Mill) and the other half tackling an Argo Cat off road experience and assault course at Rookin house, the 2 groups then swapped at lunchtime. On day 3 we travelled to Allonby, and specifically the beach where a few hardy souls ventured into the 'bracing' Irish sea. After lunch we went go-karting in Maryport, where aside from one or two members of staff turning it into a demolition derby a good time was had by all. Back at the centre the weather finally allowed for a bbq, which was a fitting way to end a great week.

During February half term (despite some initial confusion over the differnt dates in Rotherham, Doncaster & Sheffield!!) we put on 2 very enjoyable days playing Lazer Tag and then Swimming & Ice Skating at Doncaster Dome, as well as a Trampolining trip for Springboard Youth Club. Unfortunately I was having such a good time on the activities I completely forgot to take any photos, so you'll have to take my word for it!!!

Please note our upcoming activities, at Easter we have Trampolining, Mountain Biking and a club activity day. Then at May Half Term we are going on a 3 night Activity residential to Cumbria.

Presentation Night 2018

Please note that our annual Presentation/Awards Night will take place on Wednesday 14th March (not 15th as previously advertised) at The Double Six Youth Club in Woodseats from 7pm.

Over the Summer we ran another 3 weeks of succesful activities with several different youth clubs taking part. See the gallary for photos. Week 1 saw a girls day with activities including dance and boxing, a boys day with boxing, open-fire cooking and a bushtucker challange!! Finally that week was the inter-club football tournament, won by Rotherham Blackburn A, ending Hillsborough BGC'S reign, so congratulations to them.

In week 2 we did Kayaking at Rother Valley, outdoor Lazer Tag and a 'Wild' Camp at Rotherham-Blackburn Club, although thanks to the British Summer weather we had to deploy tents and gazebo's but it still worked, I think some people even got an hours sleep!!

And week 3 saw Outdoor Climbing and Abseiling out at Burbage edge which was great (except for the midges), thanks to the guys at Foundry Climbing for that, a Free Running session at Team Katalyst and as usual we finished with a trip to a theme park, this year Lightwater Valley which was a enjoyed by all.

See the calender for upcoming activities.
