Crucial Crew

Crucial Crew 2023 is scheduled for 15th - 19th May, 2023.
Having organised the event for 21 years, Sudbury Rotary Club will continue to provide help in future with The Bridge Project taking over the organisation.


Crucial Crew

Crucial Crew started in 1999 as a way of helping young children aged between 9 and 11 to understand the dangers of everyday life.  

During a morning or an afternoon session, they participate in a series of ten scenarios that show them how to be safe in a variety of situations.

So far, well over 13,000 local youngsters have gained valuable experience with Sudbury Crucial Crew.


The teachers of those taking part recently were given the opportunity to comment on Sudbury Crucial Crew - some of their responses included :

  • "Gives children first hand experience and knowledge they require in difficult situations.....more valuable than anything we could teach in the classroom."
  • "The active aspect of Crucial Crew is what makes it so unique, memorable and therefore successful.....Crucial Crew provides access to resources we would not be able to have normally."
  • "The scenarios provide a safe environment to enable the children to consider their actions in situations that would affect their personal safety .... An opportunity to learn valuable life skills."
  • "An excellent and stimulating experience to help our pupils learn' .... Thank you for all your hard work in putting the event on for our children."

We were delighted to receive a large number of 'Thank You' letters from some of the youngsters that took part in the 2019 Crucial Crew and three are available to read via the following links :
