What to expect at youth club

There’s a wide range of activities on offer. Most weeks we have football, , table tennis, pool, card and board games, Xbox and Wii, and laptops for revision and research.

We also regularly run other activities such as arts and crafts , special dance activities and a monthly take-away night! 

Activities take place Monday and Wednesday evening for 11 to 19- year-olds at Britannia Village Hall. Tuesday evenings we run our youth club at Royal Wharf Community Dock for 9-12 year olds and we run weekly football sessions. 

We regret we can’t accept under 9s at youth club. Different times apply during school holidays.

Around twice a year, we also organise special events. These are led mainly by our young people. Come along, get involved and gain some great experience!

Britannia Village summer scheme

For three weeks every summer, we organise a popular holiday scheme in Britannia Village. It’s an exciting and varied programme that offers young people opportunities to connect, explore, learn and reach beyond their comfort zones. In previous years, around 300 young people have taken part.

Our programme typically runs for three weeks of the school holiday. Our team of young leaders will decide the details of the programme and we expect activities to include multi-sports, arts and crafts, performing arts, digital activities, topical workshops and days out.

If you’re interested in attending, please contact us from June onwards by emailing youth@wsfroyaldocks.org.

Daytrips

Thanks to regular funding from the Jack Petchey Foundation, each year we usually organise at least four trips outside the area for young people aged 8 to 25.

Our young people make the decisions on where we go. Past trips have included visits to an outdoor activity centre, trampoline park and go-karting. Ask at youth club for more information.
