The Listening Post (Hurworth) FRIDAY NIGHT DROP-IN / HANG OUT
Friday Night Drops-In provides a safe place for young people (Year 7 - Year 13) to come and socialise with their
friends, offering pool, air hockey, a computer suite, quiz nites, craft activities and a low cost tuck shop. A number of young people also volunteer to assist with the running of the club and have used the experience of working at the Drop-In towards their Duke of Edinburgh award. DETACHED YOUTH-WORK PROJECT
The detached youth work takes place alongside the Drop-In on Friday evenings, as a team of detached volunteers engage with young people who may be hanging out around Hurworth. THE LISTENING POST (Hurworth)
The Listening Post is a listening and mentoring service that works in Hurworth Academy providing low-level mental health and well-being support and is part of the wider Listening Post work across Darlington.

The detached youth-work is supported by Hurworth Parish Council and local volunteers. The Listening Post (Hurworth) is supported by Hurworth Rogers Trust.
