Hands for Youth CIC

14/06/2026

Unfortunately as you are all aware, our youth centre recently suffered significant damage when our ceiling collapsed following a leak caused by renovation work in the property above us. As a result, many of the resources and items we use every day with our young people were destroyed, including chairs, bean bags, rugs, and our TV.

We're raising funds to replace these essential items and get our space back to being the comfortable, supportive environment our young people deserve.

Any donation, no matter how small, would be greatly appreciated. If you're unable to donate, please consider sharing this post to help us reach more people.

We are also gratefully accepting physical donations of board games, books, and other suitable youth resources.

Thank you for your support and for helping us continue to provide a vital service for young people in our community. 💙

Hi all, over the weekend, we had an incident within our property which resulted in major damages, and for the safety and wellbeing of all young people and our staff our youth centre will remain closed until further notice.

All clubs and wellbeing sessions are cancelled and if you have prepaid for sessions, you will be refunded.

We are hoping the clean up and renovation won’t take too long, but we thank you for your patience and kindness in this difficult time.

Any donations of;
Beanbags,
Rugs,
Foam squares for the floor,
Board games

Would be greatly appreciated as ours were all damaged in the incident 😞
