The Vision

CYZ will provide a safe and fun environment where the potential of young people is developed and fulfilled.

We are open 6 nights a week and during school holidays we run our successful Holiday Club.

The Youth Zone provides a safe meeting place for young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, where they can, for a nominal entrance fee, participate in a wide range of positive activities.

We have 4 main ways which we achieve our vision – We will work with others to:

• Provide excellent universal and targeted youth provision, informed by and in partnership with our young people.
• Achieve financial sustainability.
• Invest in our team (staff, volunteers and board) to help them achieve their potential and the CYZ vision
• Confirm CYZ as a valued and essential resource throughout the Carlisle community.
