About this cause

Blaydon Youth Club is a valued local resource that has provided the only bespoke Youth Club for Blaydon for more than 40 years, opening in the former Youth Club building in 1971-2, before moving into the larger purpose built Youth and Community Centre it now operates in 2013. The new building has enabled the Club to widen its offer to other sections of the community whilst maintaining its core purpose of providing inclusive community provision for young people. Core activities for the club include early years childcare provision, junior youth club and the Inclusive Club which provides support, development and recreational activities to young people who have both learning and physical disabilities. The centre also hosts a range of community groups who use the premises.
