Youth Clubs for Young People Aged 11–16
Ceredigion Youth Service delivers Youth Clubs and universal activities for young people aged 11–16, working closely with partner services and organisations locally, regionally and nationally. Our experienced team of youth workers, youth support workers and coordinators provide safe, inclusive spaces where young people in Ceredigion can socialise, have fun and build confidence, alongside access to more targeted support where needed.
Clubs, Holiday Programmes and Outreach
Our Ceredigion youth clubs operate in Cardigan, Lampeter, Aberaeron and Aberystwyth, offering open-access sessions and activities, including trips and themed sessions during school holidays. We also deliver Mobile and Outreach Youth Work through “Y Fan” — our youth club on wheels — alongside detached and pop-up sessions in local communities. Inside Y Fan, young people can enjoy activities such as colouring, games, Xbox, snacks and hot drinks. Follow us on social media to find out when Y Fan is heading out next!

Targeted
Prevention
Helping young people stay safe, make positive choices and build brighter futures.
Our Targeted Prevention work supports young people who may be at risk of offending or antisocial behaviour. We offer personalised guidance, diversionary activities and harm-reduction projects designed to help young people make safer choices, build confidence and take control of their future. By stepping in early, we support young people to stay on track and feel more connected to their communities.
Youth Justice
Specialist wellbeing support for young people in Ceredigion, involved in, or at risk of entering, the justice system.
Our Youth Justice team works with 10–18 year olds to reduce offending and support positive change. We manage court orders and out of court disposals, prepare reports for panels and provide one-to-one support tailored to each child and young person’s needs. Restorative Justice is at the heart of our approach, helping repair harm and rebuild relationships through meaningful actions.
Our aim is to guide children and young people toward safer decisions, greater resilience, wellbeing and brighter opportunities. We work to encourage positive change for children and young people, their families/ caregivers and the wider community.
