SENIOR YOUTH CLUB

Ages 13 to 19. Tuesday 6.15pm - 8.15pm.

This session is designed to target young people in the Allerdene area who want to take part in stimulating, challenging and rewarding youth work activities. Our staff are highly skilled in listening to young people and responding to their needs and suggestions. We also encourage young people to interact with each other and have fun.

INCLUSIVE YOUTH CLUB

Ages 13 to 25. Thursday 6.00pm - 8.00pm.

As part of Gateshead’s Youth & Community Learning Services commitment to providing Inclusive Clubs in each Neighbourhood area, new and exciting youth provision has been established in the South at Allerdene Community Centre. The Centre runs a youth club for young people who have disabilities on a Thursday evening at 6.15pm. However, this is not an isolated provision as we are moving towards ensuring that the club can be accessed by all young people with the aim of creating a friendly, supportive and inclusive environment for everyone.

The club is in its early days and is designed to attract 13 - 25 year olds. We are presently planning a programme of activities which are based around the ideas and interests of those that presently attend. This includes craft activities, sports, cookery, board games and trips out to name but a few.
