Welcome to The Brizen Young People's Centre
The Brizen Youth Clubs are open on Monday and Wednesday evenings (6.30 to 8.30pm) for young people in the 13 to 19 year age group, and on Fridays (4 to 6pm) for the 8 to 12 year old age group. The clubs are run by fully trained and experienced youth workers.
The South Cheltenham Detached Project, managed by Senior Youth Worker Karen Smith, established the youth clubs at The Brizen Young People's Centre immediately following its opening on 3rd October 2009 and the youth clubs have since proved a great success. However, and following the demise of the Gloucestershire Youth Service in mid 2011, the Centre now employs its own fully qualified youth workers to run the three youth clubs. The clubs are open to young people (aged between 13 and 19 years) on Monday and Wednesday evenings between 6.30 pm and 8.30 pm. A Junior Youth Club, for age 8 to 12 years, now operates weekly, on Fridays between 4 and 6 pm. All young people are very welcome.
Since opening, more than 400 young people have attended the Centre and up to 30 to 40 young people are present each evening. If you are interested, please come along and be assured that you will receive a warm welcome as well as making new friends and having plenty of interesting activities (and refreshments) to enjoy.
Routinely, our youth workers offer pool, table tennis, computer games, digital TV, board games, music, and a host of other very interesting activities as well as a Planned Programme Agenda at The Brizen Young People's Centre. And if you enjoy a good party, The Brizen Young People's Centre is the place for you - where you will find parties to celebrate Christmas, Halloween, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day etc.
Moreover, in recent times, there have been interesting and fruitful lessons in cooking food you would enjoy (eg pizzas, pancakes).
Furthermore, there is now an angling/fishing group established within the youth club (The South Cheltenham Young People's Fishing Club) which has already made one successful deep sea fishing trip to Newquay, Cornwall. This was an extended trip lasting three days (with two nights accommodation in a youth hostel) between 19th and 21st February 2010. All had an extremely enjoyable and productive trip!  More photos of the fishing trip can be seen here.
The youth club evenings are run and managed by three fully qualified youth workers who not only arrange the activities but are always available for a friendly chat and to offer advice about any concerns you may have.
Come and join us and have a great time with like-minded young people!

OUR YOUTH CLUBS STAY OPEN DESPITE THE CUTS! |
Despite the sad demise of the Gloucestershire Youth Service because of County Council cuts, we are pleased to announce that our youth clubs will remain open for the foreseeable future. This has been achieved by raising sufficient funds in order that we can employ former Gloucestershire Youth Service workers. We now have fully qualified and experienced youth workers in place (assisted by volunteers) and we are confident that the future of the Brizen Youth Clubs has been secured for at least the next 5 years.
That said, money remains tight in terms of being able to fund some activities such as fishing trips and other trips away. Any contributions towards this worthy cause would be most appreciated! Moreover, if there are any volunteers who would like to assist, particularly on the Junior youth Club evening, we would love to hear from you.

OUR HALL IS AVAILABLE TO HIRE |
Our lovely hall is available to hire outside of youth club activity hours for just £12 an hour! It has quickly become a firm favourite for children's birthday parties because it is modern, warm, safe, has a well-equipped kitchen, and is just the right size for a party of up to about 30 - 40 children. It is also ideal for business meetings and all sorts of other events involving up to 50 people. See our Bookings Page for photos of the hall and details of how to book.
