Youth Club Support
Youth clubs give young people a low-cost place to go outside of school, offering them a sense of belonging. Club activities and support from club leaders allow young people to develop skills and build confidence and resilience for the future, as well as have fun.
What we do;
- Provide membership for Wiltshire’s youth clubs to UK Youth a leading national youth work charity.
- Deliver a free to access accredited Young Leaders and Youth Leaders training programme, which includes; Leadership Skills, First Aid, Safeguarding, Risk Assessment and Health & Safety, Food Hygiene, Activity Programme Planning, Positive Behaviour Management, Sports and Arts Leadership.
- Offer comprehensive support for new youth clubs as they set-up.
- Enable groups to develop risk assessments, safe working practices and gain appropriate insurance for their activities.
- Organise a yearly programme of exciting adventure, arts and sports activities for young people accessing Wiltshire’s youth clubs.
- Support Wiltshire’s youth clubs to raise the money they need to develop and continue their local programmes.
We also currently provide outreach staffing for 3 Wiltshire based youth clubs, that are threatened with closure, due to a lack of local voluntary Youth Leaders.
