Children, Young People and Families

Our Children, Young People and Families Programmes allows us to deliver activities to young people, encouraging them to participate in a variety of activities that increase confidence, self-esteem, self-belief as well as helping to build sustainable relationships.

Whilst our activities are available to all children and young people, we have been particularly keen to engage with disadvantaged young people, deliver effective interventions, improve their quality of life, health and general well-being by providing access to opportunities, information and support.
Our services must be booked in advance (during covid) and your child must have a consent form.
