Oxford Kilburn Youth Trust living life to the
full 45 Denmark Road,
Kilburn NW6 5BP Director/Admin/info: 020 7624 6292 / Connexions/Children’s
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
ACCESSIBLE. SPACES AVAILABLE FOR USE

Kitchen, Library, Meeting Rooms, Gym, Hall, Shower, Dark Room The OK Club provides many opportunities

people ·
support
for young people & parents on employment, health, behaviour & other
issues ·
opportunities
