​

Our team of project leaders, along with the Essex Youth Service are currently working with young people in and around Ongar and Sheering to provide after school youth clubs. These clubs are a safe and inclusive space where anyone between the ages of 11-16 are welcome. Young people have the opportunity to learn new skills, hang out with their friends, take part in cooking, art and sports, and have access to one-to-one support.

​

Zinc also works with local schools, such as Chipping Ongar Primary School, and The Ongar Academy.

​

Some of our previous outreach work has included, free school holiday clubs, cooking clubs, art clubs, health and wellbeing workshops, and so much more. We have worked in conjunction with Active Essex, Sports England, The Essex Community Fund, and many other funders, helping us to reach vulnerable people across Essex.
