This Kids’ Clubs Network Report highlights the activities, likes and dislikes, hopes and aspirations of young people today. Kids’ Clubs Network created the AMP Buzz Survey as part of Kids’ Clubs Week (24 to 28 June 2002) –, which celebrates out-of-school childcare and takes place every year in the final week of June. This year our theme for the week is “Children have their say”, so the AMP Buzz Survey was a key activity for the week as it enabled us to listen to the views of children and then publicise the results in this report. The Survey focuses on what gives children and young people ‘the time of their lives’.

The AMP Buzz Survey was sent out to 3,500 out-of-school clubs all around the country in mid-may 2002. We had an incredible response to this and 1000 questionnaires were selected for analysis. The full age range of questionnaires filled out by the 1000 sample was from 4 to 13 years.

Kids’ Clubs Network is the only national organisation dedicated to out-of-school childcare. The Buzz Survey and Report aim to gain an understanding of what is important to young people and what they think about the people and world around them. This Report addresses a key objective of Kids’ Clubs Network’s, namely giving young people more of a voice in society.
