The OK Club is a youth club in Kilburn, North-West London. The club offers a range of activities and opportunities in the afternoons and evenings for children and young people aged 5 – 18 from the local area. The OK Club works with young people and their families to help build character and capabilities, as they grow into active and engaged adults. The OK Club works closely with the local churches and their work is motivated by their Christian Faith.
This project offers family carers the chance to have a break by providing support to people in their own homes. The medical conditions that our cared for people need support with varies but the main condition is dementia/stroke/heart conditions but it could be any illness at all. We support people with mobility problems too. The break can last anything from 7 hours to 2 weeks (longer breaks are shared with another volunteer). Volunteers are given an extensive induction, which requires a lot of reading, and some worksheets to be completed.
