Hello,

​

Since its launch in January 2003 Gipton Together has worked with children/young people aged 5yrs -18 yrs. from the communities of Gipton/Harehills and surrounding areas, areas scant of opportunities for young people.

​

Through arts and sports activities for young people our sessions act as a crime prevention and crime diversionary alternative. 

Gipton Together addresses social exclusion providing community based activities, and a safe place for children/young people to go in the evenings - and alternative to 'hanging out' on the streets.

​

We encourage young people to participate, to acquire and develop their ‘transferable’ skills, to raise their aspirations, to help them improve their emotional and physical well-being, self-esteem and confidence; and with the support of the wider community, to challenge the barriers between generations.

​

Gipton Together work with children/young people aged 6yrs - 18 yrs from the communities of Gipton/Harehills and surrounding areas- areas scant of opportunities for young people.

​

To insure the success of the project and to engage the needs of the children/young people we ask them what activities they want rather than telling them.
