Code Club was co-founded by Clare Sutcliffe and Linda Sandvik in April 2012.

Volunteering for Code Club involves travelling to your local primary school or public venue once a week to run your club for an hour.

Code Club projects have been written for children who are 9-11 years old based on average literacy and numeracy skills for this age group.
