Lively, fun, 'sick'... these are some of the
words our members use to describe
Inspire.

Working with young people age 8-19 (25 with
additional needs), we transform lives, helping
them be the best they can be.

Opening in 2018, we're 5 years old, and in those
5 years, we haven't stopped learning, and we
haven't stopped developing. From a global
pandemic to the cost of living crisis, we are
there for young people when they need us and
adapt to their ever-changing needs.

Open 7 days a week when schools are shut, at
our most basic, we provide somewhere to go,
something to do, and someone to talk to. Our
'see it to believe it' facilities give young people
access to a range of activities, opens doors to a
world of opportunities, and provides the perfect
space to develop new relationships with both
peers and positive role models.

Through our doors you'll find; a 3G pitch, gym,
sports hall, climbing wall, dance studio, music
room and much more.

Inspire isn’t just be a place to go, it's a place to
grow. And that's as much about young people
as it our staff team.

There's so many perks to joining our staff team!
