Heywood Youth Group (Ages 11–18)
Every Wednesday, 4pm–5:30pm in Darnhill

Heywood Youth Group provides a safe, welcoming space for young people, particularly those who are harder to reach.
Each week, young people take part in a range of activities including cooking, physical activities such as boxing, creative sessions, and discussions that build confidence, communication and life skills. By listening to young people and involving them in decisions, we have been able to shape both activities and food provision around what matters most to them. This includes providing regular meals and snacks they have asked for, as well as celebration activities such as pizza nights, which have been especially popular and help bring the group together in a relaxed, inclusive way.
Recent support from Tesco Stronger Starts has enabled us to refresh equipment, improve our space and respond directly to young people’s ideas. As a result, young people feel invested in their youth group, take pride in the space, and engage more consistently. We continue to seek funding to sustain and develop these activities so we can keep responding to young people’s needs.

Meals, snacks and drinks are provided each week.
