CYP 2023 Summer Programme

CYP have announced their Summer 2023 programme with a range of activities on offer. The programme is open to any young person from P6 to S3 (based on new school year after summer – meaning current P5 are eligible to sign up). Please note that young people must live or attend school in the McLaren High catchment area in order to participate.

Sign-ups can be made via the following google form link – https://forms.gle/VFtgtGKowv7XUNKUA

Thanks to funding from The Conundrum Trust every session on this programme will be free to sign up for. There are limited spaces available for each session therefore we will open the sign-up window until the evening of Tuesday 20th June (after the last youth club of school term) before randomly allocating spaces based on drawing names – we hope this gives everyone a fair chance of involvement.
