Imagine there was a place that was purpose built so that young people could get involved in activities they’ve never even dreamt of, make new friends, and be introduced to a world of opportunity.
A place where there are people inside who will be there for them no matter what. People they can open up to, trust, and ask for guidance about anything that is going on in their lives. A place where they can not just be themselves, but where they can become their best selves.
There is a place just like that. It’s a place that was named ‘Inspire’ by the people it’s here to serve.
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.
Inspire is open to all young people aged 8 to 19 (up to 25 with additional needs)
“I really love coming to the Youth Zone, there’s lots to do here! I just wanna say thank you for all the opportunities you’ve given me.”
