Our clubs provide a safe friendly place to develop, with access to activities including sport, music, drama, film production and lots more.We look forward to opening the Waterside Centre, our newest flagship club, in Newbury in 2021.*Specialist youth street workers*Our specialist Berkshire Youth workers interact and build relationships with young people where they ‘hang out'; shopping precincts and parks late at night and encourage the young person from the streets into local youth activities. They receive one-to-one mentoring and support from trained community volunteer mentors for up to 12 months. Our specialist youth street workers focus on hard to reach young people at risk of exploitation and crime. We now work with over 20 schools across Berkshire providing preventative education for young people, helping with early identification of those at risk of gangs, drug and knife crime. *Projects*Our projects provide young people with the chance to improve their health, become active and make a positive contribution through leadership in their community.
