Kidz Unlimited - Norwich Ambassador Club
Are you a young disabled person aged 10 - 25? Are you interested in making new friends and having fun? Do you want to be part of an exciting new club that has loads of activities and events throughout the year?
If you answered ‘yes’ then the Norwich Ambassador Club is for you! At the club you will have loads of opportunities to meet up with other young people, learn new skills, get a work placement and go on days out!
The Ambassador Club is all about fun and friendship and is for anyone aged 10–25 years old and runs from 10am to 3.30pm every eight weeks.
Being an Ambassador and coming to the club is free (Whizz-Kidz can even help with travel expenses!) but it’s really important that you tell them if your plans change and you can’t attend a club after all.
