Senior Club

Book a Session

What’s Senior Club About?

Senior Club is open for young people aged 12-18, and up to 25 years of age for young people who need additional support. Our Senior clubs run on Tuesday, Friday & Saturday evening from 6.30pm – 9pm. These are open club sessions and there is no need to book. Young people are welcome to drop in at any time and enjoy the facilities and activities on offer.

WHAT HAPPENS IN SENIOR CLUB?

During a Senior Club session, youth workers are there to provide a service that gives young people space and responsibility.

Each night, we have a variety of activities planned that members are able to join in with – but we also like to go with the flow on the night.

WHAT ELSE IS ON OFFER?

At CYZ, we don’t just run our open club sessions, senior members are also able to take part in

  • ‘Get a Future’ – A programme based on creating opportunities for employment, raising aspirations and exploring career choices.
  • Young Leaders – A programme based on getting young people into positive volunteering opportunities with CYZ.
  • E3 – A programme aiding employability skills in young people through the delivery of sports leaders and employability qualifications.
  • Issue-based workshops – small workshops based on relevant/trending issues with young people.
  • Trips/Residentials – There are various opportunities to get involved in trips and residentials across the CYZ provision.
  • Sporting competitions/tournaments – There are various opportunities to get involved in sporting competitions and tournaments both locally and nationally throughout the year.

Due to the current coronavirus situation, we are unable to give in-person tours, but once things return to normal we would love to show you around. Please keep an eye on our updates for our current position.

WHO CAN ATTEND SENIOR CLUB?

Anyone from school year 8 upwards can access Senior Club for only 50p entry and £5 per year membership fee. In some cases, we will make allowances for younger (year 7) members to access the Senior Club, but this is on an individual basis and you would need to speak to a team member to organise this.
