Our Youth Clubs are friendly, safe, equal places for all young people to meet others of their own age, develop friendships, learn new skills, increase confidence and most importantly have fun! Our team is driven to help our young people create lasting memories whilst learning important social and life skills. We support them to inspire each other to thrive and become powerful leaders of both their own future and within the community. We are passionate about respecting differences and promoting equalities for all, listening to and empowering young people to have the confidence to have their voices heard. CHELSEA, OUR YOUTH LEAD, SAYS... ‘Working alongside young people of different ages is very rewarding, seeing how we make a difference in their lives by creating opportunities that they may never had or have the chance to do is incredibly eye opening. It makes you realise just how important our role in their life is. I attended our youth club and, therefore, am fully aware of how beneficial the support and social side of attending youth clubs can be for young people.’ ‘You get to socialise and have so much fun’ ‘The staff are really nice and helpful’ ‘ I love that you get to meet new people’ ‘It’s lively and fun and there are loads of activities’ ‘I love it because of all the fun activities’ ‘ Everyone has made me feel so welcome’ ‘I like Youth Club because we are a team’ ‘I get to spend time with my friends’ ‘ I am happy when I am here’ ‘ I love the supportive atmosphere’ ‘ I like talking to people and having a laugh’ ‘We are treated respectfully’ ‘We look out for each other’ Youth Club Art Project We asked some of our Youth Club members to give us an insight into what they think about attending our Youth Clubs, and portraying those feelings by creating a piece of artwork with key messages.
