The sessions will offer a safe environment to explore, build friendships and have fun together.

 

Youth Clubs - Limitless and Unlimited (13+)

Limitless

Our youth clubs are for young people aged 13-19. They are suitable for young people who are able to manage in a group setting with a lower level of support. Young People are encouraged to make decisions on the activities they take part in.

They  offer the opportunity to

• meet regularly with friends
• develop life skills

Unlimited

A teenager’s weekend youth club (13+) for those who need positive, age appropriate and safe activities, but find engaging in large groups or community settings difficult. We ask for commitment to a pattern of attendance at sessions, either morning or afternoon, once a month so that we can create familiar routines and support the young people to interact with familiar peers.

 

Carousel

Activities aimed at children and young people with a common interest. Predominantly venue based but occasional visits to venues with a specific theme will be planned. We would love to hear what your passionate about and match you with peers with similar interests. These may be a sport, activity or hobby and we hope you will make new friends with a common interest.

 

Little (8-13yrs) & Big Night Out (14+)

Pantomimes, Fright Nights, Discos and Cinema Take Overs to name but a few. A special night out happening once a quarter. Sessions may be one-off events or something a little different from our regular timetable, but definitely fun and something not to be missed!
