Little ones will love our Diddy Duplo Club on Wednesdays from 10:30-11:30am during term time. It's a great way for younger kids to enjoy building and playing with a variety of Duplo bricks. All are welcome at this free, interactive session.

We are children’s charity Mortal Fools - we are based in Ashington (head office) and Tyne Valley but we work across Northumberland, the North East and wider North – we work with children and young people ages 7-19years old.
At Mortal Fools, we believe access to creative interventions and equitable youth spaces are fundamental to unlocking and enabling happy lives, fruitful futures and dynamic employability. Everyone who works with children and young people has a part to play and it’s an urgent and collective responsibility. Together, we can engage, enable and empower young people and join forces in scaffolding a better world to grow up in – one in which they feel safe, empowered, seen and heard.

Most of our evening sessions run from 4pm until 8pm, with structured activities between 5 and 7pm. Either side of our main activities for that evening, we give young people the space to relax and make use of the resources in our youth lounge including console games, board games, a pool table, a retro arcade machine and a range of arts and crafts supplies.
All of our sessions require sign up prior to attendance, to ensure we can cater for the number who wish to attend and have the right ratio of staff and volunteers to young people.
