Hideaway is a grassroots community youth organisation based in Moss Side, Manchester, established in 1965. We provide free, open-access youth work, creating welcoming spaces where young people can build trusted relationships, develop skills, grow in confidence and explore opportunities. Through youth work, sports, creative activities, outreach, mentoring and employability programmes, we work alongside young people to support positive choices, strengthen community connections and help them shape their futures. Our approach is relationship-based, inclusive and rooted in our belief:
“Believing in You to Believe in Yourself.”
