Bury Youth Service

What we do...

Bury Youth Service offers both targeted and universal youth groups, detached youth work and 1 to 1 mentoring support to empower young people with their transition to adulthood through informal, political and social education. As well as running universal youth groups from The Elizabethan Suite in Bury town centre, groups have also more recently been established in Radcliffe, Prestwich and Ramsbottom.

Also incorporated is the co-ordination of the Duke of Edinburgh scheme for the borough. Youth Participation projects enable the voice of young people throughout the borough to be heard and involved in decision making processes, locally and nationally. ​

Age range: 11-19 (up to 25 SEND/Care Experienced)

Our Objectives...
