Lively, fun, ‘sick’... these are some of the words our members use to describe Inspire.
Working with young people age 8-19 (25 with additional needs), we transform lives helping them be the best they can be.
Opening in 2018, we’re nearly 5 years old, and in those 5 years, we haven’t stopped learning, and we haven’t stopped developing. From a global pandemic to the cost of living crisis, we are there for young people when they need us and adapt to their ever-changing needs.
Open 7 days a week when schools are shut, at our most basic, we provide somewhere to go, something to do, and someone to talk to. Our ‘see it to believe it’ facilities give young people access to a range of activities, opens doors to a world of opportunities, and provides the perfect space to develop new relationships with both peers and positive role models.
Through our doors you’ll find; a 3G pitch, gym, sports hall, climbing wall, dance studio, music room and much more.
Inspire isn’t just be a place to go, it’s a place to grow. And that’s as much about young people as it our staff team.
There’s so many perks to joining our staff team!
