What’s Senior Club About?
Senior Club is open for young people aged 12-17 (school year 7+), and up to 25 years of age for young people who need additional support. Our Senior clubs run on Tuesday and Friday evening from 6.30pm – 9pm, and Saturday from 5.30pm – 7pm. These are open club sessions and there is no need to book. Young people are welcome to drop in at any time and enjoy the facilities and activities on offer.
WHAT HAPPENS IN SENIOR CLUB?
During a Senior Club session, youth workers are there to provide a service that gives young people space and responsibility.
Each night, we have a variety of activities planned that members are able to join in with – but we also like to go with the flow on the night.
