We work mainly with young people aged 13-19, although some centres have clubs for 11-13 year olds. We offer young people the following …

  • A place to meet friends
  • A chance to develop as individuals and in groups
  • To understand others and the world around them
  • To take part in interesting and challenging activities
  • To try new activities and acquire new skills
  • To find information, support and advice when needed
