Manchester Youth Zone

Manchester Youth Zone is a charity run state-of-the-art youth centre which provides a unique safe place where anyone aged 8-21 (up to 25 for those with additional needs) can discover somewhere to go, something to do, and someone to talk to. 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.The ward in which Manchester Youth Zone is located ranks 2nd worst in England for the effect of long term deprivation on children. Many young people in the surrounding area are vulnerable to poor educational attainment, future worklessness and to developing antisocial or offending behaviour. MYZ aims to provide young people with opportunities to make constructive use of their leisure time, raise their aspirations and choose a positive, independent lifestyle.
