Launch of Action for Children’s National Children’s Hour at indoor skate park, House of Vans

With the nation having an extra hour as the clocks go back this Sunday, Action for Children is launching ‘National Children’s Hour’ to encourage adults to spend the extra time with the children in their life.

Families are invited to come along to the first ever National Children’s Hour event at the House of Vans in London. The event is free of charge and allows children - and adults - to get creative by making magic potions and junk modelling, becoming scientists with baking soda volcanoes or even getting musical by making and playing of instruments.

A light-hearted indoor ‘sports day’ gives children and families the opportunity to compete against each other and also take part in free skateboarding lessons.

Action for Children was founded under the bridges of Waterloo station where the House of Vans is sited today. The charity has been listening to the needs of children in the UK for over 145 years and with National Children’s Hour it aims to continue reaching out to each and every child.
