AAA Arc Active Weekends

From "People Powered Custom House & Canning Town"

Go to the project

Proposed budget

GBP 19,263

Description

We want to bring Arc in the Park in Canning Town to life every weekend with free play, sport, family and wellbeing activities for local children, young people and families.

From March 2026 to February 2027, our Arc Active Weekends programme will provide:

Weekend activity clubs including cycling, football, basketball, dance, roller skating, parkour, fitness and more – ensuring there’s something for every age and ability.

Family activity days with games, arts and crafts, heritage celebrations and seasonal events, helping families spend quality time together and meet new people.

Growing and gardening sessions in Arc’s greenhouse and outdoor beds, giving children and families hands-on experiences of nature, healthy eating and sustainability.

This project is especially for families who face barriers due to cost, poverty, SEND or isolation. By removing those barriers, we will make sure all children and families can take part, feel welcome and benefit from safe, inclusive opportunities.

The project will help improve health and wellbeing, build confidence and skills, and strengthen community connections. With your support, Arc Active Weekends can make Canning Town an even better place to live, grow and belong.

One of a kind setting in Newham, a really special place.
    Wonderful place for children to be children
      Amazing place for children, a variety of activities available. Incredible staff. My child had the opportunity to go there and grow with the team. She still loves it and go when she can.
