Redbridge Youth Service (Local SEND Offer)

What is this service?

The Youth Service supports young people, aged 13-19 (up to their 25^th birthday if they have additional needs), to develop skills through programmes of positive activities.

There are three youth centres in Redbridge at Loxford, Hainault and Wanstead which are dedicated to giving young people a place to meet, have fun, learn new skills with other young people.

There is a session at each youth centre targeting young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities; the session is for young people with mild to moderate learning disabilities.
