A Place Where
Young People Grow
Supporting the Onchan community with care
Our Mission
To provide a safe, welcoming and youth space where young people can connect with friends, find positive activities, access support when needed, and build confidence to shape their futures.
We provide young people aged 11 - 18 somewhere to go, something to do, and someone to talk to.
Our comfortable, relaxed setting helps strengthen the professional relationship between young people and youth workers. This leads to young people confiding more openly with their youth workers, who in turn are able to offer advice and guidance on current issues affecting their lives in order for a young person to make a more informed decision.
We believe that access to our facility should be available to all young people in our community. That's why our drop-in sessions have free entry, ensuring that everyone can benefit from the resources and opportunities we provide. We believe a free-to-access policy helps to remove barriers to accessing support and provides a positive distraction from anti-social behaviour.
Kenyon's Café has been well attended by young people since its inception and operates drop-in sessions for young people of high school age, proactive and reactive needs-based support, and summer holiday daytime openings where possible.
