THE ROCK-CURROCK YOUTH PROJECT
The Rock Youth Project delivers free, inclusive youth clubs five days a week in Carlisle for ages 7 and over. Based in Currock, we provide safe, trusted spaces in an area of high deprivation. Young people can access food, mentoring, build skills, confidence & aspirations, access sport activities and build community connections. Importantly the rock is a place for young people to be themselves.
