On the Ground: Down at my club - Hampton Youth Project, west London

1 min read Youth Work
I started coming to the Hampton Youth Project three years ago.

I didn't really know anything about youth clubs, but everyone in Year 8 kept saying I should come along. I usually come on Thursdays for street dance, as I'm doing a dance GCSE and I think the classes will help.

The youth workers get us involved in team building activities, and in February we went to the Alps for a week to learn how to ski and snowboard. There was a big mixture of people and ages, and there were 10 people from our club. It was brilliant - we're currently bidding for money so we can go again.
