Hands On! Youth Project

The Hands On! Youth Project holds the ethos of young people acheiving and developing at the forefront of all our activities and Projects.

We aim to offer new opportunities to young people within the Glossopdale area, while encouraging them to be everything they can be. The young people involved with the Hands On! Youth Project have been involved in a huge variety of events, ideas and activities over the years, achieving things that they never thought was possible.

We want to… show young people how they can create change in their community and and show how they can help themselves and others by getting involved with things that are important to them.

In a way which… is easy to understand, positive for young people, fun and achievable. To do this we are constantly looking at new ideas, projects and initiatives that young people want to get involved with.

And.... The project is constantly adapting to the needs of the young people involved, offering new interests through cool and creative experiences
