What We Do

At the centre we run a youth clubs and youth activities. We have a gym which our older youth club members can use but is also open to the community to use.

We run a community food project called The People’s Pantry and is a low-cost service for families who are experiencing food poverty.

We also run other services for young people such as mentoring and mental health support and we have rooms at the centre that are available for lettings.

We are a small independent non-government funded organisation. The majority of our funding comes through applications that are successful that we submit to funding organisations. This process of funding is a constant one as every aspect of our work need funding from somewhere.
