What to expect?
The Youth Clubs are a safe space for young to get involved in activities or a place to chill with friends.
One your first time you attend if you have not yet given parental consent, details of an emergency contact will be taken. You will be given a form to take home for a parent of guardian to complete. You will then be shown around the venue by a member of staff and a young person from the group. The group has a young people's group agreement that all members must agree to. Once this is all completed you are free to get involved in any activities that are going on.
You will need parental consent to attend the Youth Club.
If your child is nervous, parents may attend for a short while until the young person feels happy and confident.
