We strive to be a place that offers opportunities to engage young people of all abilities and encourage them to achieve their maximum potential in their personal and social development. Eyres Monsell Club for Young People operates in an area that suffers from anti-social behaviour and there are a lack of opportunities for young people to use their recreational time constructively.
Mission Statement
Eyres Monsell Club for Young People (EMCYP) is a registered charity youth organisation, providing informal education for young people aged 8-19 years old. We aim to provide opportunities for our members to take part in positive activity to gain essential skills in personal and social development and encourage life skills to help them to fulfil their potential and become responsible citizens within their community.
EMCYP provides young people with opportunities for physical, creative and social activities. As well as providing accredited courses, volunteering opportunities, signposting and information, support and guidance

We hope to build on our volunteering academy running sessions for volunteers once a week that help aid their development and encourage them to develop new skills as well as completing an Asdan Award to allow them to become more employable and help their future chances in further education. We hope to build a successful team of young volunteers that are well supported and equipped to develop personally and socially through giving something back to their community.
