Youth clubs are a vital part of our service. Here young carers can relax, take some time for themselves, make friends and have fun

Youth clubs are split by age with Budz groups for primary school children and uTime for those at high school

At the youth clubs, the young carers can try all kinds of different activities or just relax. They can make friends who really understand about life as a young carer. They can also talk to our staff about anything that is worrying them so we can pick up any problems really quickly. These clubs run regularly during school term time. To access the clubs you must be a young carer who is registered with our service and needs some regular time out.

Youth Clubs in Bradford district

There are 4 Budz (age 5-11) groups and 4 uTime (age 11-18) groups around Bradford, one in each family hub area. Budz and uTime run alternate weeks in each venue, so check the calendar to find out when your group is running. If it is easier for you to get to a different area that’s fine, just let us know which you would like to attend.
