Leisure

Bored? Nothing to do? – Or limited money to do it with? How you choose to spend your spare time is really up to you – some people just like to relax and chill out, whilst others appear to be always out and about or involved in something.

Whatever your interests, below are a few ideas to get you started.

CYPS Youth Workers organise a number of activities for young people aged 11-25 in the Wigan area. These activities include: ice skating, rock climbing, kayaking, wind sailing, abseiling, arts projects, media projects etc. All activities aim to be challenging, developmental and enjoyable.

There are also a number of youth groups that offer support and advice to specific groups of young people for example:
