Carlton Youth Club is a fantastic example of the difference that dedicated volunteers can make in their local community.
Established after recognising a lack of opportunities for local young people, the club has grown into a thriving and much-loved provision in the village. Led by Abby and supported by a committed team of volunteers, what started as a response to a local need has developed into a vibrant youth club, with more than 70 young people regularly wanting to attend sessions.
Young people enjoy spending time with friends and taking part in a wide range of activities; from creative projects and themed celebrations to specialist activities such as Mini Medics, Cook Stars, and Forest School sessions – there is always something exciting taking place.
The success of Carlton Youth Club has even led to the creation of a second youth club in a neighbouring village, helping even more young people access opportunities, friendships, and support close to home.
