We’ve Changed Our Youth Drop-In

We recently asked the young people who attend our Youth Drop-In what they really wanted from the session, and they gave us honest, thoughtful feedback. We took their ideas seriously and made changes that reflect what they told us.

The drop-in is still completely free for ages 11 to 16, but it is now even more flexible. Young people can use the space however they like. They can play games, make TikToks, relax with friends, enjoy the tuckshop, or even get some homework done before joining in with activities. There is no set plan or pressure to take part in anything specific. It is a space they can shape to suit themselves.

We want every young person to feel confident telling us what they need. Their voices help us improve this session and every other youth project we run. When they speak, we listen, and we act on what matters to them.

This is their space, built with their ideas in mind, and we are excited to keep developing it together.
