About Phoenix Youth Provision (PYP) CIC
Do you want to make a difference to young people in the rural Community of Whittlesey and surrounding Villages?
We aim to provide a vibrant, supportive atmosphere that caters for the needs of young people in the local area. Our clubs are located at several areas of Whittlesey and provides a safe and welcoming environment for young people to socialise, learn new skills, and have fun. The club is open to young people between the ages of 11 and 18, regardless of background or ability.
We offer a wide range of activities and programs designed to appeal to a diverse range of interests. Our team of experienced staff and volunteers work hard to create a supportive and inclusive area where everyone feels valued and respected. In addition to our regular activities, we also organise special events and outings throughout the year, such as trips to local attractions, chosen by the young people, festivals within the community and encourage local visitors to our clubs.
At our youth club, we believe that every young person deserves a chance to reach their full potential. By providing a safe and supportive space where young people can socialise, learn, and grow, we are helping to create a brighter future for our community.
