Inspire Youth Zone is a purpose built space for young people living within the Chorley Borough (and beyond!).
Offering everything from climbing to cooking and football to enterprise, there really is something for everyone. We also open our doors to hundreds of opportunities outside of the Youth Zone, whether it be the chance to perform at the Royal Albert Hall or learning to ski… we believe in equal opportunity for everyone and will never allow cost to be a barrier.
As well as a world of activities, our Green Team is also made up of qualified Youth Workers, there to support young people through whatever challenges life throws their way. Whether that be transitioning to high school, identity or even a global pandemic – we are here for young people no matter what.
“Inspire gives us something to do. It’s a safe place to go to and you’re never alone in this place, it keeps us out of trouble and it can really improve our mental health.”
