Current Provisions
We have an exciting innovative programme of youth club activities. We are a youth consortium that works in joint partnership with the National Boys & Girls Clubs of Wales, Horn Development Association, Race Equality First, South Riverside Community Development Centre, Youth Cymru, Youth UK and Cardiff Council Youth Service. Our team of youth professionals works with young people in a neighbourhood based setting, welcoming young people from the local community to our two-storey building for fun and creative spaces, where they can discover passion, skills and friends.
The Grangetown Boys & Girls Club Youth Project plays a unique roll in addressing the lack of understanding of universal open access youth work. One of our biggest priorities is to ensure that all young people across the area have access to the support of trusted youth workers and structured youth club activities to ensure they have the best opportunities to develop and thrive. That is why we are working collectively to ensure better investment and support to young people and the youth sector. Our priority function is to give hope and opportunities to local children and young people, so they fulfil their potential and leave prepared and excited for adult life.
Open-access youth club activities encompass sport, healthy cooking, music, art, dance, skills development and career pathways. Delivered by our experienced team, the work is child-centred and promotes enjoyment , collaboration and individually tailored support towards personal development.

RealCare Baby II, an amazingly realistic infant simulator that offers learning by doing. Baby requires feeding, burping, rocking, and diaper changing on a 24-hour schedule. It offers experiential learning by providing students with experiences that help make informed decisions about parenting. The parenting experience allows students to draw their own conclusions and discover for themselves what the role of parent feels like. It is an authentic task that is very close to the real thing.
