We want to continue to develop a safe space and buy craft items for youths to socialise away from pressures they experience.

About this cause

Youth Café is available for local children and youth up to and including 15 years of age. Our aim is to provide a safe environment in which they can come and spend time together at the end of the week. We offer a range of activities, structured and unstructured, in which the young people can take part. There are opportunities for socialising and making new friendships as well as nurturing existing ones. There are opportunities to grow and develop outside of a school environment demonstrating their ability to be respectful of others. The youth are encouraged to be responsible for the venue and any equipment and resources they use.We open Friday evenings from 7.30pm to 9.30pm during term time attracting on average 50 and we are staffed by volunteers and a youth worker employed by the church.

How this cause brings people in the community together

Youth café currently offers a Friday evening venue for anyone aged between school year 6 and age15. Numbers of young people seeking to attend Youth Café each Friday in term time are usually far in excess of our venue's intake limit and consequently many are often turned away. The young people keep in touch with friends from previous schools as well as meet their friends from where they live.
