HCYC delivers regular play and youth work sessions for Gypsy and Traveller children and young people across Harborough District, using our Chill Out Bus as a mobile venue.

 

After-school activities support ages 5–16 on permanent sites, half-termly cultural understanding and integration sessions in primary schools, a weekly group for Secondary School aged young people offering King's Trust qualifications, and a Women and Girls Group promoting peer support, advocacy, and cultural pride through Travellers’ Tea events.

 

Many Gypsy and Travellers face exclusion, rural isolation, and prejudice, therefore families work with HCYC to help make our sessions support their Children and Young People's development in emotional well-being, life skills, and stronger relationships.  The half-termly sessions within the Primary Schools that many of the Children and Young People attend help foster better understanding amongst their peers, increase inclusion and celebrate their culture.​​
