Percy Community Centre provides free outreach play provision for young people living in deprivation and with behavioural difficulties in order to improve relationships, play and learn new skills, through an open access youth club on Thursday nights with a youth 5-a-side league attached. The open access project runs in a purpose built youth space designed by young people offering internet access, cooking, music making, computer games, pool and an outdoor sports court providing opportunities to socialise and participate in activities alongside issue based discussions.
£54,368 from BBC Children in Need funds the salaries of a Youth Leader, two Youth Workers, three Play Leaders and a contribution towards associated costs. Outreach Workers have a range of portable sports and games equipment and have well established meeting and information points where local children and young people can access them to provide play opportunities and sign posting to further opportunities and services.
