Telford and Wrekin Youth Offer
In Telford and Wrekin, we are committed to developing and expanding the local youth offer which includes activities and provision for young people in the local area. This website provides young people, parents/carers and professional with information about youth activities available for young people to access aged between 13-19 years old (up to 24 years old for those with special educational needs and disabilities). You will also find information about a wide range support services available for young people within Telford and Wrekin.
We have also established the Telford and Wrekin Youth Partnership who will oversee the local youth offer to ensure all young people in the local area have equal opportunities to access youth provision and involve young people in key decision making so that young people's voices are heard and influence the development of the local youth offer.

National Youth Work Week
Youth Work Week 2024 will take place from Monday 4 to Sunday 10 November 2024. The theme this year is A right to youth work for all – delivering positive futures for young people. It's our opportunity to celebrate with our peers and show the variety of youth work taking place in our borough offering inclusive environments for young people. The annual Youth Work Week event aims to raise awareness of the life-changing difference youth workers have on young people aged between 8 - 25 years of age. Youth Work Week is a chance to raise awareness of the difference youth work makes to young people, providing them with somewhere to go, something fun to do, the chance to make new friends, learn new skills and receive the support of a trusted adult.
