At Inspire we believe that every young person can THRIVE!

Inclusion runs through everything we do and we can provide a supportive environment for all young people from year 3 right up until they turn 25. Most of the time, being a vibrant and lively space is part of who we are, but for some young people that’s too much, and that’s ok!

That doesn’t mean that the Youth Zone isn’t for you, it might just mean that going straight on to a universal session where there’s up to 150 other young people in the building isn’t the right step just now. Therefore, for young people with additional needs, we run quieter sessions with higher staff ratios every Sunday 2:30-5:30pm either as a complete alternative, or as a steppingstone allowing you find your bearings and meet some of the staff team first.

For these sessions, we teamed with Break Time to become Lancashire Break Time providers meaning those who qualify for Break Time hours can be use these to attend our SEND sessions for only £3. For those not using Break Time hours, the cost for these quiet sessions is £6.

Spaces for these sessions are limited and for that reason they must be booked in advance. Before you can book on, you will need to sign up as a member and arrange a chat with our Inclusion team so they can work out how best to support. Once this is done, you can simply head to Book a Session – Inspire Youth Zone to book on.

*Please note we do not offer personal care or a 1-1 service.

Check out our after school clubs for just 50p!

Our clubs run along school terms, giving young people the chance to build their skills, confidence and get the most out of what they will learn in their chosen club. Young people are expected to attend each session to create the best possible experience for everyone involved.
