work: 020 7372 6363 / Fax: 020 7372 6598 / Email: info@okclub.org.uk The OK Club is the Headquarters of the Oxford
Kilburn Youth Trust and is based within the area in and around South Kilburn,
London, close to Queens Park Station. We aim to encourage children
and young people to ·
discover opportunities to
unlock their potential ·
contribute positively to the
wider community ·
develop meaning and
structure for their lives. We aim to enhance the personal, social and spiritual development of children and young people, and offer advice and support to parents & families to this end. The OK Club was founded 50 years ago by students
from Oxford University. It runs within a Christian framework, but it is NOT
expected that those attending will themselves be Christian. Our Christian
motivation is expressed by the phrase ‘living life to the full’. The Oxford Kilburn Youth Trust is an
independent charity. It includes one to one mentoring, Club-based,
school-based and outreach work, partnership work with local authorities and
local and national voluntary agencies, and accommodation for volunteers from
around the world. We run a busy daily timetable of activities, clubs,
and specialist skills sessions across a wide range of interests. We work with young people, at their
own pace, to help them stay as healthy and safe as possible, develop positive
relationships and attitudes, and gain in awareness and abilities and
achievements, now and in the future. We offer information, support &
advice on education, employment and training as part of the Connexions
Service. We are funded mainly through private donations and independent
trusts, and also by local authority grants, and through South Kilburn New
Deal for Communities. WE ARE FULLY WHEELCHAIR
