Inclusive Provision
About us
Inclusive provisions were formed for young people who do not feel comfortable in an open access youth club. Inclusive provisions provide young people a safe space where they can relax, have fun, learn and socialise with other young people who they can relate to, have things and experiences in common, feel comfortable with and feel confident and relaxed with. Open access youth clubs welcome all young people, and they support inclusive clubs by signposting young people to these provisions only if they feel it is appropriate and more beneficial for the young member to attend an inclusive club.
Deaf Cool Youth Club
Cardiff Deaf Cool Youth Club has been running since 2009 at Deaf Hub Wales based on 163 Newport Road, Roath, Cardiff CF24 1AG. The club runs weekly on Wednesdays 18:30-20:30. This is a partnership between Cardiff Youth Service and Deaf Hub Wales. The Deaf Cool Youth Club provides a safe space for deaf and hard of hearing young people, aged 11 to 25, to meet and socialise. The youth club has a strong focus on promoting ‘Deaf Identity’ and wellbeing. A number of activities have taken place including drumming, lantern making, cooking, pumpkin carving, word storm on a canvas and t-shirt dyeing. The youth club also delivers the Youth Achievement Award in partnership with Youth Cymru.
The Deaf Youth Club is important as many deaf youth would stay home lonely. We learn how to make friends, how to engage, confidence is developed through communication using British Sign Language. If you get upset there is someone there to advise you who has been there before.. You go home and you feel better. Seeing other deaf people gives confidence

Youth Club means a lot to me because we all get to leave the house and come together to make friends that have similar issues at home, I've mostly enjoyed when we all participate in physical activity

Cardiff Young Carers Youth Club
The Young Carers Youth Club is a well-established youth club for young people, aged 11-25, who have a caring responsibility at home. The club offers rest bite care for young people and an opportunity to meet, socialise and participate in fun and exciting activities with young people with similar experiences.
The club was there for me through my highest and lowest points. I knew I could always speak to the staff about my problems and in hand have the support needed for me. The club helped me take my mind off things at home and gave me the normal feeling of teenage life. I got to have some amazing opportunities like RYLA and DofE. The trips were always amazing for restbite and I made some amazing friends. I will cherish my memories from the young carers club and hope it does the same for others as it's done for me.
Led by Jim Price, this youth club is supported by The Rotary Club of Cardiff East. The Rotary Club kindly provide additional funding, training opportunities and two extremely dedicated volunteers, who make up a supportive and caring staff team. The club operates from 10:00 to 13:00 every Saturday at Butetown Pavilion Youth Centre.
Every session is filled with activities that fully engage the young people. These include: dodgeball, arts and crafts, health and wellbeing, cooking, summer trips, Storey Arms residential visits and socials. The group also participate in the DofE Award.
