Bringing personal and social development to the heart of our community. Ashton Youth Club is an inclusive youth and community provision run by Lindley Educational Trust, a long-established charity with a strong track record of delivering outdoor adventure and personal development opportunities.

At the heart of Ashton Youth Club is a simple aim: to break down barriers, bring people together and help young people and families thrive through positive experiences in the outdoors. We provide a safe, welcoming space where young people can build friendships, develop confidence and discover new interests. Alongside our regular youth clubs and sports sessions, we offer a wide range of activities and opportunities designed to support personal growth, teamwork and long-term skills development.

We welcome children and young people of all abilities, backgrounds and experience levels. Our friendly, approachable environment is designed to feel more comfortable than a traditional boxing gym, creating inclusive opportunities for everyone. We have extensive experience supporting young people with additional needs. Our focus is not on producing world-class boxers, but predominantly having fun, self-development, building confidence, discipline, resilience, respect, self-control and positive relationships, therefore creating champions in all areas of life.

PAC CIC supports young people across Tameside through detached youth work, creative clubs and progression support. Current opportunities include Beats & Bars music-making and recording for ages 10+ at Oxford Park Pavilion, creative activities at Hurst Cross and Hattersley, and Creative Futures for 16–24-year-olds. Our detached teams work in St Peter’s, St Michael’s and Hattersley/Hyde, building trusted relationships and connecting young people with positive opportunities.
