Youth Clubs
Whether you’re into football, dance, music, or just hanging out with friends, there’s something for everyone aged 11–19 (up to 25 with SEND) at our Youth Clubs across Portsmouth. Want to be the next big choreographer or develop your art skills? Our clubs have the space, tools, and support to help you express yourself and grow your talents.
We also carry out detached youth work across the city, and particularly the seafront during the summer, to engage with young people who may not know about our service.

🕒 When and Where?
Each youth club has its own schedule but are usually open weekday evenings – Monday to Friday from 6 – 8.45pm. We open for additional daytime sessions during the school holidays.
Our clubs also offer daytime sessions for young people not in education, employment, or training (NEET) and we run tailored sessions for young people with additional needs who may benefit from extra support or a quieter environment.
You may also find some of our youth club staff out on the streets doing detached work where they talk to young people who may not already know about our clubs or who may need some support out in the community.
