Positive activities for young people

Wirral Council is working in partnership with organisations to provide exciting and stimulating youth support services that will challenge and inspire the young people of Wirral. We aim to provide all young people, including those who are vulnerable and at risk, with innovative opportunities that will help to develop  their potential.

All activities will offer young people the support of a Youth Officer who can contribute to their personal development.

The list below shows some of the activities and support services that are available. Details of many other activities that are available for 13-19 year olds in Wirral can be found on the teenwirral.com website.
