A free family drop-in club in North Swindon is to continue into the New Year.

Supporting Our Kids, or SOKs, was set up to encourage families to work together on projects and coursework.

SOKs members enjoy the use of eight computers, free Internet access, free printing and photocopying at The North Swindon Library, in the Orbital Retail Park.

A support tutor is on hand to show parents and children how to use the Internet safely and to demonstrate research sites for youngsters.

Jackie Crowther, of the Family Learning Team at Swindon Council, said: "Initially the club was first set up to encourage families to work together on school projects and homework.

"It has proved to be such a great success so we have decided to extend the club to offer help and support for pupils who are currently working on GCSE coursework."

The club will start again on January 14, and meets every Wednesday from 4.30pm to 7.30pm. Children should be aged nine or above. For more information call Jackie on 01793 466313.
