​Youth Matters isn't just a name; it's a statement.

​​

We're here because we care. Our goal is to reduce hardship in New Mills caused by economic deprivation and disability. We're a community interest company (which means we don't profit from our work), so all funding that comes our way goes directly back into providing services and support for the young and vulnerable people of our community.

​

We're proud to operate a Youth Centre at the top of Longlands Road, where we can provide a safe, welcoming environment for young people to have fun, build skills, develop friendships, and access support when it's needed.​​​​​​

What we do

Children's Sport & Active Lifestyle

Building active habits early can help live longer and healthier lives.

Safeguarding and Support Services

For people experiencing hardship, we can provide some support and signposting services.

Food Waste Redistribution

In collaboration with our local co-operative, we distribute food to those who need it most, free of charge.

Social Inclusion

Diversity is considered at every step of what we do. We're inclusive of everybody. No exceptions.

Alternative Provisions

For children who aren't thriving in conventional schools, we provide alternative education for up to 18 hours per week, delivering ASDAN Key Steps and Personal Development Programme (PDP) content.

Clubs and Events

We host and facilitate a range of events for children of various ages. Click here to see the schedule.

THE TEAM

The team at Youth Matters is composed of passionate, community-minded, and capable individuals from the area who have undertaken many forms of training to keep the users of our services and facilities safe.

 

We're a small team, so we work hard to make sure we can meet everybody's needs. If you'd like to know more about who we are, you can visit our events or have a look at our Facebook page!  

Youth Matters CIC provides support, services and opportunities for young and disadvantaged members of our local community. Our approach involves the collaboration with other community groups and event organisers to make best use of local skills, resources, and third party services. It is at the heart of our organisation to make these services as affordable as possible, if not completely free, and to be accessible to all. We also offer support to young people at risk of entering, or who have actually entered, the Criminal Justice System, through boxing classes and mentoring schemes.

 

If you are interested in the services available at or through our youth centre but unsure of costs or eligibility, please get in touch through our contact us page.
