Youth Service Activities

What we do

The Torbay Youth Service works to provide all young people, aged from 11 to 25 years in Torbay, with a range of enjoyable opportunities, challenging experiences and effective support.

Besides youth club work, the Youth Service offers loads of activities and services for young people, from archery to volunteering opportunities.

The Youth Service runs drop-in youth groups in Ellacombe on Wednesday and Friday evenings and QED Youth Club in Paignton offers a range of activities such as sport and arts and crafts on Monday and Thurday nights. The Youth Service also works with local schools such as Paignton Community and Sports College. Torbay Youth Service also offers a range of activities including canoeing, caving and rock climbing.
