Granton Youth Centre is a purpose built youth centre for 11-25 year olds located on West Granton Road with charitable status. The Centre was designed in consultation with local young people who had a real say in how the building was refurbished. Opened in early 2003, the centre has attracted a growing number of young people to take part in its activities and benefit from the wide range of services on offer.

The Centre provides community based support for young people in Edinburgh. We offer a variety of age specific groups that do a number of fun activities. We also do gender specific work with both boys and girls. There are often a number of projects that young people can get involved in that aim to develop skills, confidence and self-esteem. In addition to a full activity programme for young people, The Centre uses group work to explore relevant issues such as drugs and alcohol, self-esteem, sexual health, bullying, community safety and a range of other issues identified by young people that concern them.

Granton Youth Centre provides specific services for young people that include; counselling and employability work, volunteering and peer education, as well as schools based services for the local community.

Parents, professionals and young people are welcome to visit us at the Centre and have a look around.
