Here is what we offer

Play

Our six free adventure playgrounds offer children a safe and exciting place to play across the city. Each site has a range of facilities and activities to explore, with something for every child. With so much to do, their imagination can lead the way.

Youth

Our five Youth Clubs hold a ton of fun for all 11-19 year olds, from pool, football, cookery and crafts, to day trips, sports and special events. Our Youth Clubs provide a safe space for young people to express themselves, make friends and socialise.

Community

No matter your age there’s something for everyone at our community venues across Portsmouth and beyond. Whether you’re looking to learn a new skill, enhance your cooking, start a new hobby or just meet new people, there’s so much on offer for people of all ages.

ADDITIONAL PROJECTS AND ACTIVITIES

More, more more!

We always look for new ways to add more to our programme. We work with partners across all sectors and build links in the community. This helps us offer even more activities.

If you have an idea for something you would like to see in your area, please tell us. We can look at whether we can make it happen.

Visit the Activities tab to meet our Project and Partnership Leads in Play and Youth. You can see what we are working on and find details about extra free youth sessions funded by Portsmouth City Council. You can also read about our wellbeing projects and our detached youth work team, who support young people out in the community.

Go to the HAF tab to see what’s on offer through HAF Fun Pompey. We are pleased to continue running the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme during the Easter, Summer, and Christmas school holidays. Funded by the Department for Education, this programme offers free holiday sessions, healthy food, and fun activities for children aged 5 to 16 who get benefits‑related free school meals. Some paid spaces are also available.

You can use the calendar below to see some of the activities running in our community centres. There is much more on offer too much to list here!
