Believe Achieve CIC: believe in yourself and achieve your dreams

WHAT WE DO

Different ways to grow.

Creativity, friendship, learning, wellbeing, sport and adventure. Find your starting point.

Most young people first meet us at youth club. From there they can try music, sport, learning, trips and much more, with youth workers and mentors who get to know them properly.

Open any section below to find out more, then ask the team what’s running this term.

Youth club

A place to be yourself.

Open youth sessions bring friends, games, creativity and activities together, with youth workers and mentors who know the local community.

We run more than 20 hours of youth sessions every week. Get in touch to check current times, age groups and how to join.

Mentoring & confidence

Someone in your corner.

One-to-one mentoring helps young people build confidence, communication, resilience and the ability to make positive choices.

It’s shaped around the young person, built on a trusted relationship and focused on goals that matter to them.

Creativity & music

Find a new way to express yourself.

Music, art and creative technology give young people a way to explore their interests, share ideas and discover what they’re good at.

Ask the team which creative sessions are running at the moment.

Sport & movement

Take part. Find your confidence.

Football, basketball, boxing, fitness and dance help young people stay active, work as a team and build positive friendships. Taking part matters more than experience.

Your ideas. Your club.

Make a difference, together.

Community events, volunteering, cultural celebrations and neighbourhood projects bring residents, families, businesses and local services together.
