Youth Work
Springbank Community Group CiC are in a privileged position that a number of our directors and volunteers come from careers where they have supported children and young people in a range of settings. This has allowed us to create bespoke packages and projects for a range of commissioners across Cheltenham and Tewkesbury.
Since September 2020, we have supported over 3000 young people to engage in positive and meaningful activities through our regular open access youth clubs and our targeted holiday provision.
If you are looking for a youth work provider, or you would like to know how young people can be supported in your community please get in touch by clicking here.

Springbank
We always knew that we wanted to provide a youth project in the community where we are based. Finally in September 2022, we were able to make our dream a reality, with the help of grant funding from our local councillor. Our project in Springbank will take a traditional outreach approach, meeting young people in their environment and building relationships which in time will help to influence change.
We are excited to see how this project grows and develops and we urge you to follow our social media pages for regular updates.
