Carlisle Youth Zone

An iconic state-of-the-art Youth Zone is now under construction in Carlisle and due to open in February 2011. Attracting young people from across the City and beyond by its fantastic facilities, the Youth Zone will provide positive activities and practical support, especially for those who are disadvantaged.

The Youth Zone in Carlisle is the first of five being built by OnSide and is modelled on the highly successful Bolton Lads and Girls Club. Once open, it will operate as a stand-alone charity. The Board of Trustees has been formed and is now working with OnSide in the run-up to the opening.

The Youth Zone is now looking to recruit a Youth Zone Manager and two Fundraisers.
