Funded by The National Lottery – Supporting Young People
Youth Connect is a project funded by the National Lottery that creates a welcoming space for young people to be active, relax, and unwind, with multi-sports, creative arts, and dedicated zones designed to reduce pressure, support wellbeing, and help young people connect and feel supported.
Keeping Youth Connect Accessible.
We want Youth Connect to be accessible for everyone, so we charge a 50p entry fee, with all money reinvested back into the project. Ideas on how this funding is used will come directly from the young people who attend. Any money made through the Connect Shop will also be reinvested into Youth Connect, helping the project grow and continue to support young people.
Youth Connect – Important Information
Youth Connect is open to young people aged 8–16 years. Spaces are limited to help ensure everyone’s safety and wellbeing, so we recommend booking online in advance. A 50p entry fee will be taken on the day. If you’re over 16, why not check out our Family Connect sessions instead.
Quick & Easy Registration
Save time and head straight into the action by booking online through our easy-to-use system. Alternatively, you can register at the centre using a paper form if you prefer. To help us keep sessions safe and well organised, please make sure everyone attending and participating is fully registered, and only book sessions that you are able to attend.
