Youth Zone – Health Drop in Clinic Project

Youthzone is a weekly health drop-in service run as a partnership between Base 33 and a school health nurse. We offer information and support to young people aged 13+ in a youth centre environment, providing a non-judgmental space in which health and well being issues can be discussed with Youth Workers and direct support and interventions can be provided by an on-site nurse.

 The service was launched in response to discussion with young people, local schools and other partners and an identified need to provide an alternative health service for young people that find it hard to visit their doctor. We know from experience that young people involved in risky behaviour can be reluctant to visit a doctor’s surgery for fear of questions from the receptionist and/or seeing someone they know.

 Youthzone runs every Monday afternoon 3.30pm – 5pm (term time only). For further info please contact Claire@base33.org
