Tuesday Drop In (Closed)
This club used to meet on Tuesday evenings at Kesgrave youth club, for school years 5 to 8. This was effectively a re-opening of the TDI (The Drop In). It re-opened in late September 08 and was intended to complement the older youth club group on a Thursday. It ran from 7.30 to 9.00pm, and had activities such as art and craft, pool, indoor hockey, basketball, indoor football, tuck shop, chill-out room and free toast. After the first week free a nominal charge of 50p a week was levied but the main running costs were covered by a grant from Kesgrave Town Council. The club was also supported by All Saints church who provide two paid youth workers plus volunteers.
Due to the closure of the Youth Club by Suffolk County Council (May 2011) a new joint community based management committee has taken over the running the Tuesday Drop In and the Thursday Youth Club.
