Youth Zone is a brand-new, inclusive space where young people can hang out, get active, feel great, and be themselves!
This free, 12-week community programme is perfect for anyone aged 13 to 17 (or up to 25 if you have SEND) who wants to make some positive changes to their health and wellbeing.
Get ready for two action-packed sessions every week for 12 weeks. You’ll be trying fun activities and learning new skills.
- Try out gym sessions, swimming, dance, boxing, or team sports—whatever gets you moving and laughing.
- Fun healthy eating sessions and snack swaps that teach you simple hacks to eat well
- Workshops focused on mental health, building confidence, and self-care tips to handle stress and feel good about who you are.
- Get support to set personal goals and track your progress so you can actually see yourself succeeding.
- There’s incentives along the way and a massive end-of-programme celebration to recognise all your hard work!
- Opportunities for your family to get involved and support your journey.

Cllr Christine Bannon, Knowsley Cabinet Member for Health, said:
“Youth Zone is about giving our young people a space where they can equip themselves with the tools for a healthier, happier future. It’s about opening the door to new skills, boosting confidence, and connecting young people with a supportive community right here in Knowsley.
“By investing in this holistic programme—which includes activity, nutrition, and mental wellbeing—we are ensuring that every young person has the opportunity to thrive.”
The programme is delivered by the Explore Partnership CIC in partnership with Knowsley Council.
