New Home Urgently Sought For Scallywags Fun Club

The team behind the Isle of Wight's Scallywags Fun Club are urgently searching for a new home as closure plans for their current base have been announced.

The club, which offers activities and childcare during the school holidays, has been at its current location at Winchester House in Shanklin for the past two years.

In a post on Facebook, Scallywags said:

"After 2 years at what we thought was our forever home at YMCA at Winchester House in Shanklin we are deeply upset to say Scallywags Fun Club will no longer be opening at Winchester House.

"At this moment we are looking at what options Scallywags has to be able to continue in the future but as you can appreciate we do not have much time & at this time no options available.

"So unless an option comes available our holiday club will close after summer holidays 2025."

Anyone who could provide a new home for the club - which has been running for 29 years - can contact its team here.
