The aim of Kelston is to foster the complete development of each individual member.
It is hoped to achieve this by:
- Broadening his interests
- Helping him to realise the meaning of freedom coupled with responsibility
- Assisting him in his academic studies through the provision of good study facilities, tutorials, study skills courses and study weekends away
- Organising activities designed to foster a creative spirit e.g. film-making, photography, graphic art, computing, and drama
- Running excursions, camps and trips abroad to help him in his relations with others
- Giving him a sense of social awareness through visits to and work done for the old and needy
Boys of any race, nationality or religion are welcome at Kelston.
A boy is unable to become a member officially until one month after first coming round, when a membership subscription becomes due. Until this time, however, he may take part in all activities on offer.
There is an informal group of members who help with the running of activities and foster new initiatives. They have a say in the admission of new members and organise their own fund-raising events. Each member of this group has a particular sphere of responsibility in the running of activities.
There is a Management Committee made up of parents and supporters. The Management Committee is mainly responsible for the financial soundness of Kelston and keeping the premises in good repair. They also ensure the continuity of leadership.
There is no official rulebook. However, a high degree of service is demanded of each boy. Through his position of confidence and trust, one of the leaders will get to know and help each member to understand the above aims of Kelston.
Kelston is divided into sections according to age and each age group has its own day and time to meet each week. Although activities are open to those of ten years and above, Kelston lays an emphasis on providing activities and an attractive environment for those of fifteen and over.
Constituted on 27th September 1964
