We believe that by getting involved in activities and being busy you can learn about yourself, and feel better about yourself.

Young people currently staying at Starley Hall engage in a wide range of activities in the local community.  Young people also enjoy the on site facilities of the BMX track, the trampolines and the Crib. The Crib is a recreational space with pool tables, cooking facilities and games consoles.

We take every opportunity to listen to your views and explore what you like to do. If you want to try some new experiences we will support this as much as possible

Adults will enjoy spending time with you as well. We will make sure they keep you involved in all plans, including the events and activities that can provide lots of fun and enjoyment.
