A summary
The Youth Connect Club is a 10 week programme designed for adopted young people to explore important life topics in a safe, creative, and supportive environment. Each week focuses on a different theme—such as friendships, body confidence, boundaries, healthy relationships, and social media—through engaging activities like art, VR headsets, and group discussions. The programme helps build self-awareness, communication skills, and confidence, while encouraging connection and self-expression.

We provide compassionate, inclusive, and expert support to children and families across Derbyshire, Derby City, Nottinghamshire, and Nottingham City. By prioritising the voices of those with lived experience, we build trust, strengthen family bonds, and ensure every child finds a safe, stable, and loving home. Our mission is to empower adoptive families at every stage of their journey—before, during, and beyond adoption.

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.
