The purpose of the Project is to give the young people in the community a safe place to meet with friends/peers and develop positive relationships with new and existing peers in their community. We provide activities that will increase their self-esteem, self-confidence, encourage pro social behaviours and lead to better outcomes in the young people’s lives. We work with the Young people to meet their needs and interests by involving all young people in all the group planning, delivery and evaluating of the group progress. Young people can engage in Core Developmental Groups, Special Interest Programmes, One to One Support, Afterschool Homework support, and Games room fun, Residential, Movie Nights, Seasonal/Summer Programmes and Drop-In’s.

The project operates from two locations to cover the wide catchment area. Main hub is based in Millennium building and another premise is located in 64 Gracedieu Heights. Opening hours are from Monday to Friday and hours may vary between 12noon until 9pm and on weekends on a needs basis.
