Space4All is part of our broader Family Hubs programme, directly providing young people with a safe space to socialise and spend time in their neighbourhood.
Most of the sessions are aimed at 11 to 25-year-olds, but we also have some junior sessions for 9 to 12-year-olds.
Space4All are free to attend, and the sessions can include the following activities:
- Safe spaces for young people to relax and meet friends
- Games and activities
- Music and podcast production classes
- Sports and active sessions
- Health services and advice
More information can be found on our Youth Services Directory under Space4all.
A Youth Services directory shows where spaces are and when activities take place. Services are being run by community specialists, including
- Project Zero
- Worth Unlimited
- Lymore Gardens CIC
- Leaders Community
- Creative Engagement Services
- YMCA
- Treasure Me Kids
The Council has co-designed all aspects of the programme with Waltham Forest's young people, including its branding. Space4All is designed to meet the needs of our young residents, so we will continue to listen and adapt our provision based on their needs and feedback.
