Youth Work

Just4us

Just4us is a youth club for girls only aged 11-16. We run many fun, exciting activities and trips. As well as all this we provide a safe relaxed environment for girls to ‘let their hair down’ with their friends. We run this group at the RISE Children’s Centre from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. every other Friday.

Blast

Blast is an open youth club for both boys and girls. We have football, pool, BIG sing, computer games and a tuck shop. It is informal, relaxed and the ideal place for young people to chill out. Open every other Friday at St Paul’s Church Hall from 7.30 p.m. to 9.00 p.m.

POD

The Pod is an outreach project based in the Pod on Barrow Green. It is aimed at young people aged 11-16 but younger people often join us!

During the winter months we run a drop in cafe and in the summer we focus on outdoor activities. We are there every other Wednesday from 7.30 p.m. to 9.00 p.m. come along and meet us.

Mentoring in secondary schools

RISE is currently building up its secondary school work and we can offer social skills, mentoring or behaviour management.

Volunteers

Although we have a youth worker we still heavily rely on volunteers. We have a hard-working and passionate team who we support and train. If you would to know more about the opportunities volunteering for RISE could open for you please call Holly Harris on 01249-463040.
