Our free youth programme supports young people to express themselves, build safe and trusting relationships, and increase their confidence through activities, games, and discussion. As well as offering themed sessions each evening of the week, we give young people the space to relax and make use of our resources including Music space and equipment, console games, board games, a pool table, a retro arcade machine, arts and crafts supplies and more.

Our experienced team adopt a friendly, fun and empathetic approach, offering information and guidance on various topics relevant to young people including, but not limited to, healthy friendships and relationships, education and work, sexual health, and drug and alcohol safety.

We are a youth-led service and we tailor our support to the young people who attend, to help them feel informed and empowered when navigating the many challenges and opportunities of the modern world. Our youth workers are always on hand for a one-to-one chat and can provide C-cards and signpost to other services when required.
