Interfaith Youth Hub
A welcoming space for young people to meet, take part and build friendships.
Community
Youth and community activities
Provision for young people and practical skills sessions for adults, delivered free of charge at the Community Hub and in venues across the borough.
Youth club
The Council runs free youth club provision for children and young people in the borough. Sessions are free because economic circumstances should never determine whether a young person has a safe place to go, friends to see and new things to try.
Activities are planned around what young people themselves ask for, and volunteers from member organisations support each session.
Interfaith Youth Forum
The Interfaith Youth Forum was established in late spring 2021 with six founding members, all under 18. It brings young people together from all faiths, cultures and backgrounds to build friendships and to learn about one another's traditions.
Holiday activities
During school holidays the Council has delivered activity programmes providing children with games and equipment, lunches and cooking ingredients, so that families are supported through periods when school meals are not available.
New initiative
Men's Group
A weekly gathering for men of all backgrounds at the Council's hub in Wellington.
