There is a free Drop-In youth service within the Project which opens five evenings each week, fifty one weeks of the year; young people have access to a wide range of constructive enjoyable activities in a safe friendly environment.

There is also free internet access and several PS 2’s, X Boxes, Dance Mats, a new PS 3, high density televisions, arts and craft materials, games etc.

Young people are able to buy low cost healthy food, ‘smoothies’, hot and cold drinks, and most weeks there is free fruit.

The Project works in partnership with 'SORTED', to deliver work around the issues of drugs and alcohol, regular fun workshops are delivered to young people.

We also partnership work with the Ambulance Service who deliver their “Don’t Walk Away” safety programme to many of the young service users.
