Help young people feel confident getting involved
Please include as much clear and detailed information as you can when completing this form. Knowing things like what to expect on the day, who the activity is for, accessibility details, and how to get in touch can really help young people feel more confident about joining in or reaching out for support. The more information you share, the more accessible, inclusive, and welcoming the directory will be for young people, their families, and others who support them.
Please select all that apply. This helps young people understand whether this is mainly a social activity or a service offering support or advice.
Let young people know more about your group and activity. Give a short, clear description of what the activity is like. Focus on what usually happens, the atmosphere, and what young people might enjoy about it. What does a typical session involve? Is it relaxed, structured, creative, active, social, quiet? Do young people need any previous experience or skills? (If not, say so.)
Please include age range and any other relevant details (for example, whether it’s open to everyone, e.g. all ages or aimed at specific groups)
Check all that apply
Please include whether the activity is free, has a charge, or if support is available to help with costs (for example, concessions, free places, or equipment provided).
Please include how often the activity runs and what time it usually takes place. If times vary, are flexible, or change during holidays, please explain. It’s helpful to say how long a typical session/meeting lasts and whether young people can arrive late or leave early.

On the day
Let young people know if they need to bring anything (e.g. equipment, food, drink) or wear anything specific. Please also say if it’s okay to come without these, or if alternatives can be provided.
