Learning a New Way CIC

We run regular activity groups for children and young people in Spennymoor, Newton Aycliffe and Meadowfield. We also facilitate additional holiday activities. Activity sessions are a mix of games, crafts and often a trip to the park! We also provide food at many of our sessions. Our focus is on providing safe, inclusive sessions that focus on supporting wellbeing and independence. We also offer learning opportunities for home educated children, as well as tutoring.
