Communities
We support young people to be an active part of their community.
Youth Work
Our Youth Workers facilitate Youth Clubs, pop up sport and craft sessions and detached youth work in a variety of settings across Swindon and Wiltshire, we firmly believe in creating spaces with and for young people aged 10-17 where they can connect with safe adults, try new things, build confidence and make connections in their local communities. Some of our previous activities include spray painting, Tye-Dye, cooking, water games, sports and circus activities.
These pieces of work are funded in various ways including several Parish Councils who commission us to deliver youth work on their behalf.
Swindon Youth Voice Group
Swindon Youth Voice is a group of young people who have a voice and want to make a positive change in their community. Working alongside young people aged 11 to 18, group members are encouraged to be creative, collaborative and open-minded, working together to create their vision of a better Swindon.
Currently, Swindon Youth Voice are working towards their mission statement:
“Young people going into hospitals/care homes to give to the community”, demonstrating that care and community exists between generations.
This mission is being developed through a range of creative activities and discussions, using the creative expertise of Prime Theatre to shape campaigns that benefit the wider community.
This programme is run in partnership with Youth Voice, Voluntary Action Swindon, Prime Theatre, and Mind.
The Base
The Base is a dynamic youth centre in Park North, Swindon, created by young people, for young people.
It offers a safe and inclusive space where children and young adults can access support, vital services, and a range of opportunities to help them thrive.
We run lots of different activities and opportunities for young people at The Base including a variety of Youth Clubs, Alternative Provision, HAF programme and more.
