What is the Young Futures Hub?
The Young Futures Hub connects young people across East Central Bristol with local activities, advice and support.
Full Circle Docklands (FCD) Community Centre is the main hub working with community partners and other youth centres across the area so young people can get to activities and support closer to home.
We have a ‘no wrong door’ approach – no matter which venue you come to, you’ll be welcomed, and we’ll make sure you can get connected to the activities, information or help you need.
Youth workers will listen to you whatever age you are – whether you want guidance e.g. help with a job application, or something at school, or just want someone who won’t judge to talk to.
“If you’re going to make another space, make it like this… it feels somewhere where I would want to come and hang out.”
How Drop Ins work
At drop-in times you can just drop in by yourself, with a friend/s, youth or key workers, parents or carers to find out what’s on and what’s available.
You can have a chat with a youth worker about anything at all – and we can help link you in with activities, information, advice and support.
