#UrSound

If you love music and are between 11 and 19 years-old, #UrSound invites you to express yourself. Whether you want to sing, rap, MC, play instruments, produce, write songs or music, all aspects of music have a place here.

#UrSound has everything you need to make yourself heard, including a professional recording studio. If you have other interests that require a recording studio – such as recording a podcast or hosting your own radio station – they can help with that too!

Step 'n' Street

If you're between 11 and 16 years-old and you love street dance, then this is the place to express yourself. We're mainly about street and hip hop, but you can bring in any styles you like.

Each session mixes routines led by a dance teacher with sections created by young people, either in small groups or individually. You can freestyle your own moves and have a say in how each session develops. It doesn't matter who you are or how good you are, just come along and have fun!

Street football

Our street football sessions are brought to you in partnership with local sports coaches! All sessions are free, with no need to book – just turn up and play. Sessions are for 11 to 19 year-olds unless otherwise stated.

You can find many more ways to get active through our sports and leisure pages.
