Our Youth Hub has been designed as a base for our youth development services and also as a safe haven where young people can enjoy our space away from the streets where they are at risk of being affected by or involved in crime. Our team has a wealth of experience in delivering youth programmes to vulnerable young people, and we now require additional funding in order to execute our plans successfully over the coming months.

What we'll deliver:

• Develop our games room, in consultation with our young service users
• Purchase additional furniture and admin supplies for the centre

Why it's a great idea:

Animalia C.I.C. seeks to address a number of key problems identified in partnership with Glasgow Housing Association and Police Scotland: Namely, high rates of youth crime in the area and a lack of funding available for aspiring young athletes. We hope to provide opportunities that tackle both of these issues by working directly with vulnerable young people in the area. Simultaneously, we aim to improve both physical and mental wellbeing of our service users through participation in sports and residential trips.

Steps to get it done:

• A fully functioning Games Room
• An appealing and completely renovated, furnished Hub
