Clubs and Community

Bigger Heart began in a Swansea classroom, and our work in Wales is still rooted in schools and neighbourhoods. Our clubs give children an enriching, welcoming place to be creative, active and part of something bigger.

What children gain

More than an after-school club.

01

Confidence

Trying new things in a supportive space.

02

Friendship and social skills

Working, playing and creating together.

03

Health and wellbeing

Movement, outdoor play and mindfulness.

04

Cultural curiosity

Learning about Zanzibar and each other.

Community

A community that gives back.

Our clubs don't stand alone. Schools, families, volunteers and local partners all help make them work, and the children give back too. One Year 4 class researched and made products and raised £334 for orphaned students in Zanzibar. A fundraiser with Friends of Jersey Park raised over £600 for a water well in Pemba. Children in Swansea are helping other children thousands of miles away.
