Pokesdown Youth Club

WE ARE LOOKING TO RE-INTRODUCE THIS SESSION VERY SOON.

Open-Access Sessions – Tuesdays

Pokesdown Youth Club’s open-access session takes place every Tuesday evening between 6pm and 8pm at The Stourvale Centre in Pokesdown.

A community partnership, the club provides open-access opportunities for young people aged 13-16 years of age to develop their skills through non-formal education and training.

The project aims to engage young people in meaningful activities in their own neighbourhood.

The activities during sessions can include one-to-one support with youth workers as well as providing young people a safe space to hang out, explore their potential and build confidence.

Activities are accredited and include:

• Music
• Cooking
• Life Skills
• Volunteering
• Arts & Crafts

Sessions are £1 per person.
