As we head into September, we’re thrilled to be kicking off our brand-new Home Ed Drop-In sessions tomorrow! 🎉

These sessions are open to 10–16-year-olds who are home educated and live in The Bay area. 💚

Young people will need to be registered with us before attending. You can register via the link in our bio 🔗

Check out our current timetable for details of session days and times. 📅

Please note that parents/carers are unable to attend these sessions. Our skilled Youth Workers will be on hand throughout to support, encourage and engage with young people in a safe and welcoming environment.

For more information, or if you’d like to chat with us about the sessions, please contact Emma at [email protected].

We can’t wait to get started! 💚🎨🎹🎲

Our timetable for the first 2 weeks of September is here 🙌🏻

We have tons of great activities going on at LINK and across the Bay Area, including brand new Home Ed Drop-In🎨 Basketball 🏀 and an additional beginners Music session 🎸. Please note, young people who attended music currently will not be able to join the beginners session and will need to book the advanced one.

As always, activities are FREE to 10-18 year olds living or educated in Sandown, Shanklin and Lake. Please scan the QR code or visit the link in our bio for more details 💚

We’re blown away at the talent the young people of The Bay Area have, and to prove so we’re sharing this clip of recently formed The Odd Lot - a band that has emerged from our Music Mix Up & Beat Makers sessions at Link. 🎶

So without further ado, here’s The Odd Lot performing their first original song, Somewhere I Belong, at Link’s Got Talent last week! 🎤

If you’re interested in joining our music sessions, please email Jake at [email protected] for more information 💚💙

We're rooting for everyone collecting their GCSE results today! 💙

Sending good luck vibes your way. Remember that the numbers on that piece of paper don't define you. You're incredible in your own ways regardless of today's results. ⭐

We have Drop-In @ LINK 3pm-5pm and BYP Pop Up @ Shanklin County Ground 5.30pm-7pm today, if you'd like to connect with one of our Youth Worker 😊

What a fun summer we’re having at Bay Youth Project! 💙💚

But don’t just take our word for it… 🎬 Here’s a short mockumentary created by our young people during our Film a Scene sessions! 🎥

A massive congratulations to everyone who took part - there’s some serious talent on show in this production! 👏🎬

We know that when times are tough, talking can sometimes feel like the last thing you want to do.

But sometimes, having someone to talk to is all it takes to see things from a different perspective and make whatever you’re going through feel a little more manageable.

We are here to support and guide you, however, there may be times when you might like more specialist support. With that in mind, we’ve put together a list of free services available.

It’s so important to remind yourself that, no matter how alone you might feel, there is always someone out there who will listen — whether that’s a call, a text, an email, or just sitting down for a chat. 💙💚

A great opportunity for young people to get creative and produce their very own Zine.
