We are a voluntary organisation founded in October 2001 working with young people
from 9 to 13 years of age ( Years 5, 6, & 7 ). An age group not often catered for by the paid sector. We believe in a pro-active approach to working
with young people, enforcing the belief that prevention is better than cure. Our
staff team has over 80 years of qualified youth work experience at it’s disposal
and are police cleared.
The group meets every 1st, 3rd, & 4th Thursday’s and 2nd Friday of each month from 7-9pm ( school term time only ) in the Methodist Church
Hall on Horsefair, Boroughbridge.
There is no waiting list and no membership fee, just 50p per session. Parents
are asked to complete a simple consent form that validates our insurances through
Youth Clubs UK. The young people attending can participate as much or as little
as they wish. Activities include - pool, play station, shinty, team games, music,
dance, art & crafts etc. All activities help to promote and encourage:
-
Increasing self esteem
-
Increasing self awareness
-
Increasing self confidence
-
Improving communication skills
-
Improving relationship skills
-
Improving social skills
-
Combating bullying
We are an organisation that DELIVERS and has commitment to young people. We involve the community and Parents. We
believe that ALL young people, not just those “at risk” deserve the opportunity
to participate in fun activities under a carefully structured programme, thus
enabling them to make informed choices to become a “model young citizens”. Our
aim is to prevent young people becoming part of “the at risk groups”.
