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.
