*This is for children who can not swim and for families who would otherwise struggle to access lessons for whatever reason*

We have spaces on our Funded swimming programme at New Mills Leisure Centre on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
This is for children aged 6+ who are non swimmers. Parents do not need to get in the pool as there is an extra instructor in the pool for these classes.
Please contact New Mills Leisure Centre for more information and how to sign your children up.

The emergency contact number for this weekend and next week is as follows 07738834756.

Please only call on this number or our office number until further notice.

Many thanks

🎉 TRANSITION WEEKS ARE COMING TO YOUTH MATTERS! 🎉

Starting a new school is a huge milestone for children and young people. Whether it's taking those first steps into Reception or making the move from Primary School to Secondary School, it can bring a mixture of excitement, nerves and uncertainty.

To help make that transition a little easier, we're opening our doors during the first 3 Fridays in July and inviting children who will be starting Reception or Secondary School in September to come along and join our regular youth club sessions.

These won't be separate transition groups. Instead, children and young people will have the opportunity to join our existing youth clubs, meet current members, make new friends and become familiar with the youth centre before the summer holidays.

We know that walking into a new environment can feel daunting, which is why additional staff and volunteers will be attending throughout the sessions to help children settle in, make introductions, join activities and feel welcome from the moment they arrive.

🏫 **Reception Starters (September 2026)**
📅 First 3 Fridays in July
⏰ 5:00pm – 6:30pm

🎒 **Year 6 Pupils Moving to Secondary School**
📅 First 3 Fridays in July
⏰ 7:00pm – 8:30pm

For just **£1 per session**, children and young people can enjoy everything our youth clubs have to offer, including:

⚽ Sports & Games
🎨 Arts & Crafts
🎮 Gaming
🎲 Board Games
🎵 Music
🤝 Making New Friends
😊 Confidence Building

We hope these sessions will help children start September with familiar faces, new friendships and greater confidence as they begin the next exciting chapter of their journey.

Places are not limited, so please feel free to share this post with any families who may benefit.

📍 Youth Matters New Mills CIC
Longlands Road, New Mills

If you have any questions, please get in touch via our page.

❤️ Because every child deserves to feel confident, connected and supported as they take their next big step.
