For more than ten years, In The Mix Project has provided a youth club in Wiveliscombe, giving local young people a safe and welcoming place to meet friends, enjoy new activities, build confidence and talk to trusted youth workers.

Unfortunately, despite considerable fundraising and partnership work, we have not secured enough funding to continue the club after the summer holidays. We have therefore made the difficult decision to temporarily pause the club while we work towards securing its future.

Local youth provision is particularly important in rural communities, where transport and access to activities can be limited. The club provides much more than somewhere to go—it offers positive relationships, early support, new experiences and a place where young people feel safe, included and listened to.

We want this to be a pause, not a permanent closure. Our aim is to raise enough support for Wiveliscombe Youth Club to return during 2027 and build a more sustainable future.

Donations will help cover essential costs, including qualified youth workers, venue hire, activities, equipment, refreshments, insurance, safeguarding and staff training.

Every donation, whatever the amount, will bring us closer to reopening the club. If you are unable to donate, you can still help by sharing this appeal with friends, family, community groups and local businesses.

All young people should have somewhere to go, something to do and someone to talk to. With your support, we hope Wiveliscombe Youth Club can once again provide exactly that.

Thank you for supporting Wiveliscombe’s young people.
