Helping young people to a better future in Gospel Oak

We've provided a wide range of free activities for the young people in the Gospel Oak area of the London Borough of Camden for over two decades. We operate from the Dome Centre off Queen's Crescent and keep overheads very low by working in partnership with the local community centre.

NEWSFLASH
With a hard winter coming up, we're now providing food in the Youth Club. Can you help us by donating or supporting our fund-raising concert on Sunday 13 November at St Martin's Church, Vicar's Road, NW5 4NL.
Doors open at 7.00 for a 7.30 start. All concert costs have been donated. Every penny raised will go towards the winter programme.

Why the community needs us

The Queen's Crescent area is dominated by overcrowded social housing where many young people grow up in households of very limited means, have low aspirations and few opportunities in life. There are severe pressures on services to contain the many causes of social disadvantage and few opportunities for young people to socialise, develop interests and skills and make friends.

Our impact on the community
Operating out of the Dome Centre, our programme today includes football tournaments, gym sessions, use of an IT suite and music studio, crafting, life skills sessions, science workshops, inspirational speakers, day trips to interesting places and a chance to hang out and have fun with friends.

There's a special night for girls including female-only sports and, with local police volunteers, we're running an exciting programme to help break down barriers between the young people and the police.

Youth workers provide advice and guidance and run special initiatives for ‘hard to engage’ young people to help them into training or work.

Young people are at the heart of everything we do. They named the Dome, helped to design the facilities there and play a big part in the development of projects and in planning youth club sessions.
