To provide an all round service and Youth Café for Young People aged 11-18 to help them realise their full potential by offering them training, jobs, a fun place to be and support. This is done in a few ways, initially through the general evenings in the Youth Café tuesday-friday evenings. Services here include general entertainment such as pool, music, table tennis, theme nights, issue nights and many more. Also, since 2010, we've added extra after-school clubs and renovated the café.

Why the community needs us

The overarching purpose of our organisation is to positively influence young people to become valued and active members of their communities through a wide range of projects and activities. With the Elgin area being fairly quiet, and not offering an large amount of entertainment for young people in evenings, our youth café provides a non-judgemental and inclusive place of safety for young people to socialise and relax, away from the pressures to drink alcohol, take drugs or gamble.

Our impact on the community

The Youth Café itself continues to thrive with a core of 100 to 200 Young People attending regularly, with over 70 often attending each evening. We hope to maintain the interest of the Young People through maintaining fresh ideas and up to date equipment. After School Clubs were successfully piloted in 2010, offering young people free activities including healthy cooking clubs, dancing classes and computer games and skills, and we're now looking to add delivering the Arts Award in the café.
