At Jigsaw Youth Club, our weekday programme runs from Monday to Thursday. This programme is designed for people aged 18+ or those who are home-schooled and want to develop social and life skills.

Weekend Programme

Our Saturday sessions are run from Beeston Youth and Community Centre.
Our Saturday sessions, offer a wide range of activities such as arts and crafts projects, video gaming, board games, table top war games (warhammer), Indoor/ Outdoor Sport, Pool, and space to socialise and chat.
These sessions are non-committal, simply turn up on the day, once signed up as a member we are a drop in group, meaning no contract, no pressure, we are on every Saturday of the year (with exeption for Christmas holidays and bank holidays).
Young people are welcome to turn up and stay as long as they like. We understand that joining a new club can be intimidating so we welcome parents and carers to join and stay as long as the young person needs, However when ready, we do ask adults to take a break, step back, grab a coffee, and encourage the young people to spend their time at the session indipendtly, this encourges friendships, engagement and confidence.
