Stratford Youth Clubs

A project by Escape Arts

Stratford Youth Clubs

Stratford Youth Clubs are a free universal offer to all young people aged 8-18 in the area. To keep our open access service free to all young people, we apply for funding and grants and fundraise.
We run 4 sessions per week term time, and offer trips and activities throughout the year during school holidays.
Stratford Youth Clubs are a safe welcoming space co-designed with young people we are a youth-led service, where the thoughts, feelings, and opinions of young people are at the heart of what we deliver.
Our aims are to give local young people a safe platform to feel they have a place in our town and that they are seen, heard, and valued in their local community.
To improve young people's mental health and well-being.
To raise aspirations and offer new experiences, and informal learning.
To bring together a diverse range of young people to create a strong and accepting youth community.
To create trusted relationships with adult staff, and to be a constant through adolescence and into adulthood.
We offer open access youth clubs for 8-10 yr olds, 10-12 yr olds, 12-18 yr olds as well as fortnightly Creative Youth sessions offering a diverse range of art form practice, including, music, visual arts, dance, media, film making and many more. Young people are able to gain an Arts Award qualification through this group. We are currently working with The Herbert Art Gallery, The Museum of Youth Culture, and Local and national artists.
We also have our Youth Voice group, which is the dynamic driving force of the development and relevance of Stratford Youth Clubs to local young people.
If you are a parent who would like to donate to us as your child benefits through our service, a young person who has fundraised for us, or someone who would like to support our work, we really appreciate your donation, it really does make a difference to the young people in our community. Thank you!
