As you become an adult, you might want to get involved more in your community. You can help your neighbour through volunteering. Why not share your views about the council. Or, you can join a club to make new friends.

Join a youth hub

A youth hub provides that safe space for young people. You might be looking for help or advice. Or you just want to have a laugh with a friend and take part in an activity. There's something for everyone! We have Youth Workers to support young people with SEND.

  • meet new people
  • make a difference to other people’s lives
  • build your confidence in the workplace.
