Â鶹ÊÓƵ Youth Service
Â鶹ÊÓƵ Youth Service offers a range of activities, projects, and programmes for young people aged 11 years and above in our 16 youth centres around the city.
Our centres are a safe space for young people to get involved in fun activities and workshops as well as seek help, information and advice on issues that affect them. They are staffed by youth workers who are trusted adults. Young people can come and be themselves, meet new people, socialise with friends, feel safe and enjoy a range of opportunities to get involved in.
Contact your local youth centre for information about activities and opening times.
