Manchester Youth Zone is a Children’s Charity based in Harpurhey, North Manchester. Although the area is regularly ranked in the top 1% of the country for deprivation, we don’t accept that where you come from dictates where you are going in life! For a decade, MYZ has been the place in North Manchester for young people aged 8-19 (up to 25 with additional needs) to raise their aspirations and enjoy healthier, happier lives. Here, they can try new things that will: • Send their confidence skyrocketing • Reach goals that will set them up to chase their dreams • Make them feel great about themselves right now Building resilient, determined, and creative adults We’re a safe space open when schools are shut, where young people will always have someone who has their back. Our purpose-built centre offers an extensive programme including sports, arts, life skills and training. Our facilities include a full-size sports hall with 8m high climbing wall, 3G outdoor sports pitch, dance studio, music and media suites, theatre, arts room, boxing gym, fully equipped fitness suite, sensory room, recreational area and cafe. Bagging skills, mates for life and the resilience to live life to the full – that is what we are all about.
