We make full use of Meath Gardens Park’s MUGA, football pitch and green space to run a structured multi-sports programme for the local community, including Meath Gardens FC.
We provide safe, consistent and engaging activities for children and young people aged 13–19, with a particular focus on evenings and school holidays — the times young people most need somewhere positive to be.
Our Meath Gardens site hosts CV workshops, one-to-one mentoring, employment training and volunteering placements, helping residents build the skills and confidence to move towards work.
Working in partnership with local schools, we provide breakfast, lunch and after-school sessions. We also offer Key Stage 1 & 2 tuition to the wider local community during midweek and weekend sessions.
Our staff base provides general advice and guidance, signposting residents to Council and third-sector services. We also host coffee mornings for parents, and health and wellbeing sessions for the wider community.
