The Place Youth Club

The Place are driven by a single goal; to do our part in helping the community.

For 32 years, The Place has delivered Youth Work services within Alness and areas of high deprivation. Our priority is to ensure that we are always there for our young people as we continue to work with various partnerships and providers to give these kids experiences that they wouldn’t have had before.

By engaging with our local young people, we have helped develop employability skills such as confidence, leadership, team building and self-esteem. We have helped educate these youngsters in many life skills such as mental health awareness, sex education, substance abuse, money management and cooking. Youth Work is not a job to The Place staff but a vocation for the community.

Over the years, we have worked with many different groups, offering various programmes and workshops, one of which being our Syrian boys group. We have worked with the boys to develop great relationships and positively benefit their experiences as a young person.

We feel that our new project ”The Field” has the potential to benefit the full community and we are very excited to get the boys involved.
