Event Overview

The Seeds of Change Campaign After-School Club Launch was an initiative by Cohort 2 of the 2025 Discipleship Programme under the Bloomers Seeds of Change Project. The event focused on establishing a sustainable after-school club at St Charity School to address limited extracurricular opportunities, provide safe and structured after-school spaces, and support students’ personal development. The club was launched on 29 November 2025 using the Leadership & Life Skills programme design.
