Facility Rental for Youth Groups

Whilst the majority of youth groups that attend our programs like to participate in our activities, occasionally we have groups that just need a facility to meet and run their own workshops or meetings. Our facilities are fantastic for this, and are definately available for youth groups to use for such meetings and workshops.
