We work with young people aged from 5 to 25 years, from a wide variety of backgrounds. Many of those we work with have a wide variety of issues, including risk of exclusion from school, those who have already been excluded from school, economically poor family situations, behavioural issues, and those at risk. Our activities and programmes are designed to alleviate these issues and offer a positive alternative and future.
A volunteer would be supporting the youth workers with the daily running of the drop-in sessions and will help with supervision of young people. They will have the opportunity to provide 1-2-1 support with young people and eventually lead on some specific sessions.

- General Supervision

Sessions run after school hours on week days as Drop-In sessions for young people to attend as well as a football specific session running once a week. Please ask for confirmed days and times for each session.
