We also run a weekly drop-off afterschool club at The Moorings Sociable Club in Thamesmead.

We currently have spaces on term-time Wednesday’s for 9-12 year olds. 5-8 year olds are invited to join the waiting list. For places please click here.

§



Members of the club contribute to our own kids-produced newspaper WAAAAH!, as well as taking part in other fun creative activities like designing and speaking to special guests. Children and families are involved in decision-making, and each term we ask the children what the important issues are for them.

Sessions are facilitated by experienced visual artists and designers. Through collaboration and hands-on activities members of the club  experiment and play through art and making, using these as an inspiration to imagine a more fair, just and equal society.

The Hundred Club was initiated in 2021 by artist Ruth Beale and TACO! Ruth Beale is a London-based artist. Their work troubles the structures and systems that shape society, from institutions to social ties to the public realm. Committed to the radical possibilities of working collectively and collaboratively, they use dialogue and exchange to rethink the ways we share resources and ideas about the future. In 2012 they co-founded The Alternative School of Economics with Amy Feneck, which explores economic and political issues in relation to the complexity of lived experience.


Recent commissions include Drawing Risky Play with Turf Projects, Croydon, London and Library as Memorial with Brent Biennial, London. Recent exhibitions include LIKE GODS at Swiss Cottage Library Gallery, Editorial Tables: Reciprocal Hospitalities at The Showroom and a major new installation by The Alternative School of Economics in Economics the Blockbuster: It’s not Business as Usual, The Whitworth, Manchester.
