We are delighted to announce that, following our closure due to the coronavirus pandemic, we will be resuming our drop-in service for young people this week. Naturally we are very excited to welcome young people back but are taking extra care to help support the health and wellbeing of young people, staff and volunteers.

Initially, our drop-in will be open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday which will allow us to ensure that thorough cleaning takes place between each session. The drop-in will run in conjunction with streetwork and our individual support service to help us meet the different and varied needs of the young people that use our services.

We hope that we will be able to continue with these services but, should it be necessary to close for a national or local lockdown, our latest service information will be posted here and on our social media pages. Alternatively, for information on any of our services or if you are a young person who requires support please contact us on:
