WARRINGTON YOUTH ZONE

Warrington Youth Zone builds on the proud history, values and legacy of Warrington Youth Club, which has supported young people in the town for nearly 100 years.

Originally founded in 1930 as Warrington Boys Club by a group of parents concerned about their sons after school, the club was formally established in

1935 as part of the national Boys Club movement. The organisation later moved to a purpose-built home on Rodney Street, officially opened by Princess Margaret in 1950, where it served generations of young people for the next 50 years.

As the building aged, the Club relocated to the Peace Centre in 2000 through a partnership with the Tim Parry Jonathan Ball Foundation for Peace and the NSPCC. In 2003, the charity became Warrington Youth Club, benefiting from the centre’s great facilities for the next two decades.

Since 2009, Warrington Youth Club has worked with OnSide, Warrington Borough Council and local partners to bring a Youth Zone to the town. After many years in development, planning consent was granted for Warrington Youth Zone to be built on Dallam Lane, close to both the University Technical College and Rodney Street - bringing the organisation’s story full circle.

Opening our doors in July 2022, Warrington Youth Zone has become the new home and evolution of Warrington Youth Club. We believe in ‘Inspiring young people to achieve’. We exist to support young people’s development, offering opportunities to gain, increase and develop skills, knowledge, selfawareness and confidence. Enabling them to make positive and healthy life choices through our wide range of programmes aimed at different age groups.
