How To Form, Manage and Run An Unincorporated Association.
Homework clubs are a way for kids to get together, under the supervision of parents or teachers, and do their work in a quiet, structured environment, says Judith Baer, a teacher and education consultant who runs a club in Shrewsbury, NJ. Some homework clubs are sponsored by schools and libraries, others by private tutoring companies.If you are planning to set up an out of school club for the purpose of providing childcare for more than two hours per day, please see our section on Setting up your club for full details. However, clubs which provide tuition or coaching in a particular activity (eg football club, drama club, nature club, French club, etc) do not usually need to be registered with Ofsted.The eight basic steps to setting up an out of school club are: 1. Establish the need. Is there sufficient demand for an out of school club? How can you find out? Do the results of your research give you an accurate picture? 2. Decide on your business structure. Will your club be a charity, a social enterprise, or a straightforward business?
Check what’s available with your school and local authority. The biggest advantage of a school-based homework club is that it’s on the same premises, so children don’t have to travel to the club. Familiarity with teachers is also a plus point, and your child is in an environment where they are already relaxed.If an association has money, it will probably have a bank account. That will have been set up in law as an account in the name of two to four individuals. The bank will look to those people as individuals to run the account. Technically, they are trustees for their members.
The 8-13 year old group Homework Club started 6.15-7pm as their sports session took place 5-6pm and we walked participants over from the pitch if they took part in both sessions. On the 1st November 2017 we had 45 participants attended the sports and life skills sessions and 16 young people attended the homework club.
