Full service description:

Teenscene aims to encourage social interaction with peers, promote confidence and introduce the young people to activities appropriate to their age and suited to their interests. Families get to know the staff during home visits, done before the young person joins the group. The club usually runs on a weekday evening and school holidays. The Teenscene service is free of charge. Parents are requested however, to provide funds to cover meals and any extra costs of a particular activity. Please note that our social programmes are not suitable for those who do not have independent travel arrangements or who require personal care. Spaces on our programmes are limited. if your local group is full we’ll add you to a waiting list.
