Wolverhampton PAYP

Black Country Connexions in partnership with other statutory, private and voluntary sector organisations deliver positive activities to young people across the city of Wolverhampton. These activities are designed for young people aged 8 -19 yrs and target those who are most at risk of crime, anti-social behaviour and/or social exclusion. PAYP aims to provide young people ‘at risk’ with the opportunity to access quality cultural, sports and art related activities to help channel their energies, skills and potential  in a positive manner within their communities.  More
