PROGRAMMES LIST

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!

Flex Minis Club - £1 contribution

Day: Tuesdays

Time: 4.30pm - 6.30pm

Age: 4 - 11 years

Location: The Flex Hub, 3 Gibcracks, Basildon, Essex, SS14 1PE

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

* Funded by The National Lottery & The Beechwood Community Foundation

Flex Youth Group - FREE

Day: Wednesday

Time: 4.30pm - 7.30pm

Age: 11-18 years (up to 25 SEND)

Location: The Flex Hub 3 Gibcracks, Basildon, Essex, SS14 1PE

A weekly youth group session for young people to relax, socialise and be themselves. The young people have access to a studio, hot food, games consoles, pool tables, music and much more.

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.

Topics can range from colorism to pop culture. Mental health and wellbeing to police stop and search experiences.
