WAVES is a youth group with a difference. We recognise that it isn’t always easy to talk about our emotional and mental wellbeing. The reality is that you are not alone!
If you’re between 13-19 and experiencing stress with school, family or friends, or just finding it hard to cope, then come to one of our WAVES sessions. Our free drop-in sessions offer a relaxed space where you can talk to other young people who have experienced similar issues. Come along for games, crafts, cooking, discussions or just a place to unwind and relax.

“I have never been to a youth club group before outside of school because I never felt I fitted. WAVES is perfect for me. I have made new friends who I know will support me and have learnt a lot.”
