At The Flex Youth & Community Group, we’re dedicated to helping young people in the community develop their skills and grow into contributing members of society. Since launching in March 2022, we have developed a variety of programmes, determined by 'the need' for our young people and have seen the direct benefits of the services we offer. Check out all of our programmes, and swing by for a visit!

​
A youth programme designed specifically for young people aged 4 - 11 years. This programme promotes the integrity of the body and mind. Each session involves a level of physical activity alongside a moment of reflection. With the rise in the cases of mental health, we feel that it is vital that young people learn to communicate in a healthy way. Through activity we can explore sportsmanship and also develop techniques to build resilience. And most importantly learn about community cohesion.
* Hot Food is provided at a suggested donation of £1

The weekly youth group sessions also incorporate an optional topical discussion segment which young people speak about subjects that affect them. This is always a safe space and is incredibly insightful.
