The Shieldfield Youth Programme :

creates a space for young people to come together in the place where they live, build new friendships, and offers opportunities for them to develop their skills and talents and to explore new ways of thinking and doing things together. It aims to empower people to become active members of the local community and is locally rooted, thematically strong and aims to instil values of solidarity, social and economic justice, creativity and activism.

Our team can be found out and about in Shieldfield meeting lots of great young people, creating and running lots of different community events as well as working with the young people themselves to have a positive impact on the place we live and work!

We currently run weekly sessions during term time at The NewBridge Project on Wednesdays:

Under 10’s : 4pm – 5pm

10+ : 5.15pm -6.15pm

These are free to attend and open to all young people. During the sessions we play games, have discussions, take part in creative activities, and have snacks.
