Llangollen Youth Centre set to reopen

Denbighshire County Council is delighted to announce the official reopening of Llangollen Youth Centre.

The centre will once again provide a welcoming, safe, and supportive space for young people in the community.

Open Access Youth Club sessions will take place every Tuesday from 6pm to 7:30pm during term time. Sessions are open to young people aged 11 to 17.

The space is also used during the daytime by the Youth Service to support young people with a range of needs, including targeted work, accreditation, and youth voice activities. The building will also host a range of partner organisations to ensure it is used effectively and to best serve the needs of young people and the wider community across Denbighshire.

Having a designated space for young people within their community is extremely important, and the aim is to create a vibrant and safe environment for young people and the wider community.

Following investment into the centre, a new Families First and Flying Start hub will also open at the facility. The Families First and Flying Start team will now be working alongside Denbighshire Youth Services from Llangollen Youth Centre to help provide support, activities and opportunities for local children, young people and families.

The Families First and Flying Start team will be running engagement events from the hub, starting next week until the end of the summer holidays, where the team can get to know the families and find out what families would like to be offered from the centre.

The reopening marks an important step in strengthening local youth provision and ensuring young people have access to opportunities that support their personal and social development.

Councillor Diane King, Lead Member for Education, Children and Families, said:

“We are absolutely delighted to see Llangollen Youth Centre reopening its doors to young people in the community. Youth services play a vital role in providing safe spaces where young people can build confidence, develop new skills and form positive friendships.

“I am also really pleased to see that our amazing Families First and Flying Start team will now be working side by side with the Youth Services team at the Youth Centre.

This integrated approach will allow families and young people to get the best out of the help and support that is offered by both services.

This reopening reflects our continued commitment to investing in youth provision across Denbighshire and ensuring young people have access to high-quality support close to where they live.”

In addition to the Llangollen provision, open access youth club sessions are also available in Corwen every Wednesday evening from 6pm to 8pm during term time.
