Our Ethos

Holt Youth Project exists to provide a safe environment for young people to meet and socialise with the minimum of supervision. This builds their social communication skills and promotes ownership.

The centre is a place where young people have opportunities that empower them to reach their goals and aspirations through various programmes and activities.

Dedicated staff create a friendly environment and are on hand to support and welcome all young people, whatever their background or need.

We provide a safe and fun place for young people to meet and socialise. We help our members to build their social and communication skills, develop a sense of responsibility, and pursue their ambitions.

Our amazing young people

Holt Youth Project exists because we believe every child, no matter their background, deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential.

We are able to help thanks to the generosity of our friends, volunteers, and patrons. At the heart of Holt Youth Project are the amazing, talented young people, both past and present, who make up our membership. Their development and well-being is the focus of everything we do.
