Introduction
Youth groups and clubs give the chance for young people to play and work together. They can develop new skills whilst having fun. Some clubs are for everyone and are inclusive to those with additional needs. Some specialist clubs will be just for young people with a specific condition or need.
This tool is something you can bring with you to a youth group to help tell the youth group leaders what they can do to include you and make you feel comfortable.
