The group operates 3.30pm - 6:00pm every weekday 38 weeks per year during term time. During the school holidays it runs 10:00am - 4.00pm for 10 weeks. The group runs at Pentrebach Cricket Club and in a room attached to Jerusalem Church in Pentrebach. The groups are staffed by salaried inclusion workers, volunteers and parents.
