Hands for Youth CIC

24/05/2026

Hi all, over the weekend, we had an incident within our property which resulted in major damages, and for the safety and wellbeing of all young people and our staff our youth centre will remain closed until further notice.

All clubs and wellbeing sessions are cancelled and if you have prepaid for sessions, you will be refunded.

We are hoping the clean up and renovation won’t take too long, but we thank you for your patience and kindness in this difficult time.

Any donations of;
Beanbags,
Rugs,
Foam squares for the floor,
Board games

Would be greatly appreciated as ours were all damaged in the incident 😞
