Active Youth Club
The Active Youth Club is a free programme for young people aged 10-16 years to help improve their mental and physical wellbeing.
What are sessions like?
These FREE Active Youth Club sessions, are run by a qualified youth worker and Community Activator from the Living Better team.
Sessions are based in Peterborough and St Neots.
The core structure of each weekly session includes stimulating physical activity or sport-based games, mentoring opportunities, and a space for support and guidance surrounding any issues that the young people may be experiencing.
At Living Better we champion youth voice, where young people are given the space and opportunity to make decisions and have their say. So, each session is completely unique and built around what the participating young people want to do and/or talk about.
