What we do

We support young people in their personal and social development through activities that include 1 to 1 and group work. Opportunities are made available for young people to take part in workshops including, drama, DJ ing, dance, singing cooking, outdoor activities and much more. Our graffiti-art workshop develops young people’s skills of expressing themselves through their work, also giving them an understanding between graffiti and vandalism. We also provide free time for the young people to take part in pool, snooker, Nintendo Wii, PS3. X Box, football, tennis, table tennis, arts and crafts, table football, internet access, ten pin bowling and table air hockey.

We support young people to use their participation within the above activities as part of the many CV accredited awards that we deliver such as Duke of Edinburgh, Youth Achievement, Dynamic Youth and Millennium Volunteer.
