Youth projects are for everyone and we like to encourage you to try out different places. All projects should be welcoming and safe and you can choose what you want to do and have a go at designing programmes which can meet the needs of young people whatever their differences.
You can also get involved in projects where there are aimed at people with particular needs and if you have a disability where you need extra support to get involved there are projects which can make sure this happens.
