Founded in 1883, our aim has always been to help improve the lives of local young people by providing access to opportunities that can help enhance their personal development.
– Provide invigorating youth services
– Promote sport and healthy lifestyles
– Engage the local community
Whether it’s learning dedication in the boxing ring or new skills in the kitchen, our passionate team of youth work specialists ensure every member gets the most they can from being part of our family. We run a jam-packed diary of weekly events and activities, alongside ongoing projects and one-off workshops that use alternative ways to engage and inspire.
With a focus on reaching socially excluded and disadvantaged young people, we often partner with other organisations and use our combined resources to: provide programmes that build self-confidence, organise open access recreational and educational activities, and offer exciting sports and outward bound programmes - all in a safe, welcoming environment.
The community is close to our hearts, and we also provide opportunities for local adults to improve their life skills and the positive impact they can have on the young people in the area. Always looking for new ways to connect, we listen and respond to local people’s needs through surveys, outreach and street work programmes.
