FCC Community Projects, Groups and Links
FCC also offers a range of activities during after-school hours and summer holidays for all members of the community, parents and children to attend. Throughout the year these have included Art and Craft workshops focusing on clay, Christmas and Easter Crafts, very successful Robot Challenge Days and an extensive package of Summer Holiday Activities taking place throughout the community over much of the summer break – including cooking classes for various abilities, HipHop, Breakdancing and various sports courses.
