About your mentor

Ham Youth Centre

Free and fun activities for young people!

Ham Youth Centre has been serving the Ham and Richmond Community for over fifty years providing a hub for teenagers to spend their leisure time. We are located on the side of Ham Green opposite Grey Court school. Who are we? We are a team of experienced youth workers who work with 10 to 19 year olds in Kingston and Richmond to provide fun, affordable and developmental activities. What do we do? We provide young people with a safe space where they can meet their friends, talk to staff, and take part in activities. This includes sports, cooking, the arts, music, offsite trips and lots more. We are open after school every day of the week and also during school holidays. We run accredited awards for activities such as AQA Unit Awards and the Arts Award. We also offer support on issues young people sometimes face such as stress, substance misuse, relationships, sexual health, school, careers, internet use, etc. What facilities do we have? Ham Youth Centre contains a three room music studio, a gym, archery range, fully equipped gaming lounge with Play Stations, gaming chairs and gaming PCs, an art studio and sports hall. What is Youth Work? Youth work is a complex series of professional principles, practices and methods which we often describe as the science of enabling young people to believe in themselves and build positive futures. Youth work takes a holistic approach with young people. It starts where they are at – the relationship between young people at youth worker is entirely voluntary – youth work often only works because of the voluntary relationship. Many professionals work with young people, but principally, only in youth work is it the choice of the young person to engage with the professional. Our work seeks to promote young people’s personal and social development and enable them to have a voice, influence and place in their communities and society as a whole. It builds resilience and character and gives young people the confidence and life skills they need to live, learn, work and achieve. This approach is at the heart of all of our work. Youth work offers young people safe spaces to explore their identity, experience decision-making, take part in new activities, increase their confidence, develop interpersonal skills and think through the consequences of their actions. This leads to better informed choices, changes in activity and improved outcomes for young people. How do I find out what's on? See here for our latest programme of activities . Also check out our social media and website or If you have any further questions regarding what's on at the centre, you can also contact the centre manager, Ben Skelton .

Cancellation Policy

Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
