OPEN ACCESS YOUTH PROVISION

A safe, welcoming space for children and young people to connect, learn and have fun.

Open Access Youth Provision at West View Project Children and Young People’s Activity Centre offers children and young people opportunities to socialise, build friendships, develop new skills and take part in a range of fun, engaging and positive activities.

Open access means that young people can drop in and take part in activities without needing a referral or a formal assessment. It provides an inclusive and welcoming environment where children and young people can feel safe, valued and supported, meet others of a similar age and enjoy their free time.

Our youth provision aims to promote confidence, independence, creativity and positive relationships. Through activities, group sessions and opportunities to try new experiences, young people can explore their interests, express themselves, learn new skills and develop a sense of belonging within their community.

At West View Project, we believe every child and young person deserves the opportunity to thrive. Our open access provision helps create a supportive space where young people can be themselves, make friends, have fun and access positive opportunities that support their personal and social development.

Everyone deserves a place to belong, opportunities to grow and the chance to have their voice heard.

HOLIDAY PROVISION 

Fun, friendship and exciting opportunities during the school holidays!

Our Holiday Provision at West View Project Children and Young People’s Activity Centre offers children and young people a welcoming, supportive and engaging environment to enjoy their school holidays, make new friends and create lasting memories.

We provide opportunities for children and young people to take part in a variety of fun, creative, educational and recreational activities. From arts and crafts, sports and games to group activities and opportunities to learn new skills, our holiday provision encourages young people to explore their interests, build confidence and try new experiences.

Our sessions provide a positive space where children and young people can socialise, develop friendships, work together and enjoy being part of a group. We aim to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels welcome, valued and encouraged to participate.

We understand the importance of providing meaningful activities during school holidays. Our provision helps keep children and young people active, engaged and connected to their community, while supporting their wellbeing, personal development and social skills.

At West View Project, we want every holiday to be an opportunity for fun, learning and discovery. Whether trying something new, spending time with friends or developing a new skill, we aim to make every visit an enjoyable and positive experience.

Making school holidays memorable through fun, friendship, learning and new experiences.

WARM HOT HEALTHY MEALS

Helping children and young people stay healthy, happy and energised.

At West View Project Children and Young People’s Activity Centre, we believe that access to nutritious food is an important part of supporting children and young people’s health, wellbeing and development.

We provide healthy meals and refreshments to help children and young people stay nourished, energised and ready to take part in our activities. During the school holidays, we offer breakfast and lunch to support young people throughout the day. We also provide a healthy evening meal as part of our evening provision.

Our aim is to ensure that children and young people have access to food that supports their growth, concentration and overall wellbeing, while helping them develop positive attitudes towards healthy eating.

Mealtimes are also an important opportunity to come together, socialise and build positive relationships in a welcoming environment. Sharing food encourages conversation, connection and a sense of belonging, helping children and young people feel included and supported.

We recognise that access to nutritious meals can make a real difference to families, particularly during school holidays when children may not have access to their usual school meals. By providing meals alongside our activities, we aim to help reduce food insecurity and ensure children and young people can enjoy their time at West View Project without worrying about going hungry.

At West View Project, our commitment goes beyond providing activities. We want to support the whole child by promoting healthy choices, positive wellbeing and a stronger, healthier community.

Healthy food, happy minds and brighter futures.
