What we do…
RAY Actif is funded by Children in Need and provide a safe space for 11 to 18 year olds with an environment that is inclusive, supportive and follows the interests of the young people that attend. Sessions run Tuesdays and Thursdays 3.30-6pm in term time and 1 or 2 days a week in school holidays.
RAY Actif is a safe and welcoming place for young people to come and hang out with friends, get involved in activities including art, cookery, environmental projects, carpentry, dance, games and music. We provide free healthy snacks and a meal at each session.
