Events and Festivals

We run a three week play scheme during the summer holidays, in an area of New Mills that is known to have a number of social issues, low income households, poverty of opportunity and anti-social behaviour. Over the duration of the 3 weeks we ask various organisations to put programs and sessions together that engages with children through various sports and activities in a fun way helping them overcome the issue of feeling that they are not 'good at sports'.

As an organisation we aim to support as many other groups and events occurring in our community. We take part in all the main festivals in New Mills such as the Carnival, the Torrs Youth festival, the New Mills Art Trail, the One World Festival etc. We also ran Santa’s grotto last Christmas with all our volunteers dressed as elves! We also support other groups in the surrounding areas such as Street by Streets ‘Thank You Buxton’ event.

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.
