It was a busy Christmas time at club. We started the...
Background
History
The club began in January 1978. It was originally started by nurses at Queen Mary's hospital who wanted somewhere for the disabled children and their brothers & sisters to go together.
The club has built up over the years and have now got a membership of 120 young people.
In 2018 we celebrated 40 years of the club, we held a festival, fundraising ball, mini phab and performed a show at the Playhouse.
Charity
Epsom & Ewell Phab is a registered charity No 298452. We ensure our trustees conform to all the Charity Commission requirements. We submit our annual return accounts and annual report on time.
Save Epsom Phab
On Friday 16th December 2011 we found out that Surrey County Council had plans to sell the ‘long leasehold’ they have at the Linton Centre, meaning Phab would have nowhere to meet, we ran a successful campaign to save the youth club.

What We Do
Club Evenings
We meet each Friday Evening at Nescot College from 7.30pm - 9.30pm throughout the year including in the school holidays (except Good Friday & between Christmas & New Year).
Members take part in sports such as unihoc, football, tennis, volleyball, basketball and table tennis. They do games, arts, crafts, dance, drama, circus skills and music.
Each evening many of the activities run in parallel and members chose which activities they want to do and how long they want to do them for, allowing opportunities for free-flow.
