Friday Night Youth Sessions

About Friday Night Youth

Friday Night Youth is for young people aged 13–17 who want a safe, welcoming place to spend time, try new things, and feel supported all whilst having fun!

Why the Programme Was Created

It was created because many young people told us they didn’t have enough local spaces where they felt comfortable, accepted, or able to do positive activities. This session gives young people somewhere to belong.

What Sessions Include

Each session offers a mix of fun activities like cooking and baking, arts and crafts, sports, and group activities, while also having space to talk about things that matter to them.

Sessions include discussions around confidence, wellbeing, relationships, identity, finances, and future plans. Everything is age‑appropriate and shaped by what young people want and need.

Support from Youth Workers

The sessions are led by trained youth workers who are there to listen, support, and guide. Guest speakers are invited in when young people want extra advice or specialist support.

Young People’s Voice

Young people’s voices are central to the programme. They help decide topics, activities, and future opportunities, including potential trips and experiences.

Her Space

Part of Friday Night Youth session is 'HerSpace', where we explore beauty, nails, hair, dance, yoga, music, jewellery making, pottery, painting, candle making, textiles and more.
