Welcome to Skipton Extended Learning for All (SELFA)

SELFA (Skipton Extended Learning for All) is a local children's charity. Our aim is to provide a range of activities for vulnerable, disadvantaged and disabled children who live in the Skipton & Craven area of North Yorkshire.

From our office at Christ Church Primary School in Skipton, we have supported local children for the past 5 years, offering a range of fun and inspiring out of school workshops and projects to children who may sometimes find it difficult to access other activities, perhaps due to physical, financial or geographical constraints.

Without SELFA, some children would miss out on a range of new experiences that often lead to an increase in self-esteem and confidence, raised aspirations and behaviour, and an overall lasting effect on children’s social skills and future interests.

Perhaps they unlock a talent or interest for art, for dance or for sport, for making new friendships or just being brave and learning to try new things.

SELFA knows the process can take time but we are committed to working in partnerships with schools, authorities and families to help all local children thrive within our community.
