About this cause

The Y Centre's aims through recreational, spiritual, educational,physical and social programmes to empower and motivate people in our society, including those who are disadvantaged through social and economic deprivation. Our objectives are to respond creatively to the needs of the community to enable access to the facilities that promote active and passive learning, community participation. Our visitors range from 3 yrs to 83 yrs and many in between. We have many different activities from youth clubs, after school clubs, art groups, games, history, pottery and many more. We offer support to the foodbank, job clubs, other local voluntary organisation. We also provide advice and and information to the community.

How this cause brings people in the community together

We have a youth provision which offers a wealth of experiences for young people. We feel that the issues being faced are becoming more complex and we are seeing more and more facing mental health difficulties. We feel this would contribute to the young people’s welfare and their growth, in addition, enable them to become valued and actively inclusive as part of the community as a whole.
