Save the World Club promotes environmental action and self-empowerment through humour, art, education and entertainment, and promotes the protection and improvement of the natural environment by increasing public knowledge and understanding of human behaviour which is not harmful to the Earth.
Background to Save the World Club
Award-winning charity Save the World Club have been providing hundreds of children’s and family based holiday clubs, after school clubs and workshops in Kingston for the past five years covering a range of exciting topics such as community mosaic, bicycle repairs, sculpture and scrap arts, painting and design, circus skills and events and festival organisation.
The success of the group, especially in attracting, and maintaining, continued relationships with some of the most disadvantaged families and citizens in our community, has made a real impact on the confidence of many people previously considered a problem in their local community. Kingston has several pockets of deprivation, including central Norbiton, central Kingston’s Acre Road, the Kingsnympton Estate and others and Save the World Club has run a range of successful children’s families and adult classes in these areas since 1997.
In the past five years projects have included working closer to home, running after-school clubs, arts classes using scrap materials, making music, a CD with a message, building a community garden, helping to develop community spirit and connection, training young disaffected and possibly young offenders in civic and environmental awareness. The power of community ownership means people have a huge say in our practical decisions about the choice of art works, design, colour, techniques. They are an important and integral part of our decision making process.
