Welcome to Lewisham Youth Service

We offer all year round after-school and holiday provision (daytime) delivered at our adventure playgrounds and youth clubs. We also provide projects, 1:1 work, targeted and themed based informal education for young people that live, go to school/college in the borough of Lewisham. 

Our programmes offer children and young people aged 8-19 (up to 25 with additional needs) the opportunity to grow, play, have a voice and learn in a safe space with the support of qualified staff. We encourage young people to embrace their heritage and cultures, working with them to explore identity and creating tolerance for all. 

Our service is constantly adapting to better meet the needs of children, young people and local communities – ensuring that our service supports people where they are.
