Youth Club

WSF Youth

We have lots of different activities happening for young people each week.

On Mondays and Wednesdays we have our main youth club sessions. These include cooking, DJing, games, skating and so much more!

Over the rest of the week, there are plenty of other activities to get involved in - including table tennis club, 9-11s club and dance with Rhythm Masters. 

Also watch out for our workshops and holiday activities. Follow us on instagram to find out more.

All our sessions are completely free of charge and everyone is welcome. You can simply turn up, and there is no need to register in advance.

If you’re a local young person (or their parent or carer) with a question about our youth project, please contact us by emailing youth@wsfroyaldocks.org

Our partners

We're proud to be commissioned by Newham Council as the lead organisation for the Royal Docks Youth Zone. Through this, we work with local organisations Caramel Rock and Fight for Peace to deliver a range of activities for young people throughout the Royal Docks.

We also work closely with Oasis Academy Silvertown, and our youth team deliver mentoring and clubs in school each week.

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, and topical workshops.

Applications for young leaders open in May each year, and sign ups for participants open in June.

Trips

We have regular trips outside the area, including day trips and residentials. 

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.
