About Us

So much more than a youth zone!

We are Inspire Youth Zone and we are a community charity investing in thousands of young people.

We give young people the opportunity to meet friends, have new experiences, learn new skills and access the support they need to develop and achieve their potential.

Open 7 days a week when schools are closed, we provide an inspirational environment for more than 5,000 local young people and for some, a critical lifeline. 

The Youth Zone is open to all young people across the local area aged from 8 to 19 (up to 25 with additional needs.)

We are home to facilities that you can’t find anywhere else in one place locally, from a climbing wall to an underground pitch, boxing ring, gym and pottery studio – there’s something here for everyone!

I enjoy coming to the youth zone because there’s plenty of opportunities & activities to get involved with. You can gain a lot of confidence, independance and skills. I wouldn’t know what I would be doing if it wasn’t for Inspire Youth Zone.
