Great to have Two Circles visit and help the amazing St Andrew’s Youth Club today.

We met at Westminster Tube station and took a scenic walk through St James’s Park enjoying the sunshine and views before to made our way to the incredibly-located 'Oldest Youth Club in the World'.

We started by taking a tour around the tardis-like building seeing all the amazing activities that the Club offer over 200 unique young people a week. From the gym, arts and crafts area, kitchen, martial arts studio, school uniform bank and even the piano lesson room (still not sure how that piano got up all those stairs).

We started cleaning out and clearing out the storage garage, to make space plus accessibility to all the kit that is stored there and used on a weekly basis. A smaller group headed up to the top floor to create a counselling room on the top floor, to facilitate impactful conversations in a private space for the young people.

We finished off the visit with a bit of fun, complete with mini club experience: playing the various sports and activities, including football, volleyball, table tennis, pool, arts and crafts and even a bit of table football.

Great to have such a fun group along, hope you all enjoyed your visit!
