How we help

Your future. Your pace. Your space. Our youth drop-in space is for young people aged 12 to 25 and provides a relaxed drop-in space where you can hang out, meet people and explore what matters to you. We meet fortnightly on Tuesday afternoons between 3-6pm! What you can do: • Meet new people • Explore study, work and volunteering • Build confidence • Get involved in youth leadership • Chill after school or just get out of the house Your Space is shaped by young people, for young people. No pressure, no bookings — come as you are. Stay for five minutes or the whole session, it’s up to you. There are games, art, group activities, free food and space to just relax. Support workers are always around if you want support or a chat. It’s safe, inclusive and judgement-free — a place to connect, be yourself and belong.
