YOUTH CLUB

Building on the foundations laid in early years provision, after-school clubs, and playschemes, our Youth Club continues the journey of nurturing confidence, connection, and opportunity for young people. GGCA recognises that the young people we work with are at a vital stage of growth—where identity is shaped, friendships deepen, and futures begin to take form.

Our aim is to provide a space that not only supports the development of young people but actively inspires it.

​

Why It Matters

Youth clubs play a vital role in supporting emotional wellbeing, reducing isolation, and promoting positive life choices. Our Youth Club provides a trusted environment where young people feel:

• Safe

• Respected

• Included

• Heard

• Supported

We are committed to helping young people develop confidence, resilience, and skills that extend far beyond the club itself.

​

About the Youth Club

GGCA Youth Provision is shaped by the needs and interests of young people and is firmly rooted in a youth-led approach. It is a welcoming, inclusive, and safe space where young people are valued, respected, and heard.

​

Rooted in the values and approach of GGCA and the wider community, our youth sessions bring young people together through:

• Shared projects

• Skills development

• Sport and physical activity

• Creativity and expressive arts

• Health and wellbeing initiatives

• Access to information, guidance, and support

​

These opportunities help young people build confidence, develop new skills, and make positive connections.

​

A Safe Space to Belong and Grow

The Youth Club is open to all young people aged 11 and above. It offers a dynamic programme of activities designed to encourage participation, creativity, and positive relationships.

​

More than just a place to spend time, it is a safe, warm, and supportive environment where young people can relax, be themselves, and build lasting friendships.
