Kirkstall Connect & Connections Club
New for September 2025! Kirkstall Connect is an expansion of Connections Club, focusing on activities at and around the Cardigan Fields complex on Kirkstall Road. The club runs on a Thursday evening, 5:30pm to 7:30pm, although the times could change depending on the activity, for example cinema showing times. Kirkstall Connect is booked via Eventbrite, and open to interns past and present. Activities will incur a cost and as much as possible, these will be paid on the night by the young person. Likewise, they may want to bring money for food and drink. Kirkstall Connect will be open to everyone, with no age restrictions. The clubs are ran by Lighthouse Futures Trust staff, and advertised on social media as well as posters around college sites.
Connections Club is a way for interns, past and present, to keep in touch and hang out whilst doing something fun and maybe trying new things. It generally runs on a Tuesday night once a month (snow days permitting!) and is booked via Eventbrite. Connections is ran by Sharon and Julie with other members of staff coming along to hang out too. We have a Connections WhatsApp group and email list which interns can be added to. Connections is also advertised on social media. Sessions generally run from 5:30pm to 7:30pm and everyone needs to be able to make their own way there and back. Please note that there is usually a charge for activities and interns like to buy themselves food and drink during the club too. Timings and venues can change dependent upon available activities that we’re booking. Everyone is encouraged to come along as it really is a fun, relaxed evening and a great way to make new friends.
