With funding from Children in Need, the Bradby Club was able to take 7 young people away in August to Outward Bound in Aberdovey, Wales. This residential experience provides the young people with opportunities and activities that develop and  encourage teamwork, leadership and challenging them to do more than they think they can.

Bradby young people enjoyed a day out at Drayton Manor over the Easter break.

Moody weather does have its benefits, the park was relatively quiet which allowed our young participants to enjoy the rides many times over. A fantastic … [Read more...]

Youth Centres and vandalism tend to come hand in hand; with the nature of the work they do and the negative choices some young people make. Bradby is no different however since the installation of our alarm and CCTV systems incidents (touch wood) have all but ceased.
