Start a Saturday Club

The National Saturday Club works with a shared purpose – bringing together educational institutions, industry and cultural partners – to deliver a transformational, free education programme for 13–16-year-olds nationwide. 

In 2023–24, 106 Saturday Clubs at 80 universities, colleges and cultural institutions engaged with the programme, supporting recruitment, outreach, widening access strategies across the UK.

Extensive research and evaluation shows that the National Saturday Club’s programme framework enables and empowers young people to build their skills, discover their strengths and talents, develop their confidence, and better understand pathways to further study and future careers.

Joining the network will connect your institution with young people, parents, schools, cultural organisations and industry, initiating a local ecology of support and providing crucial extracurricular learning opportunities for young people as part of an established national programme.

We would be delighted to welcome you to the network.
