OnSide Youth Zones

With over 40,000 members, young people currently make around 500,000 visits to Youth Zones each year.

OnSide Youth Zones is a charity dedicated to providing young people with somewhere to go, something to do and someone to talk to in their leisure time; occupying their bodies and minds with fun activities, learning new skills and socialising in a safe, positive way.

With a further four Youth Zones currently under construction, including a state-of-the-art facility in Gorton, just a stone’s throw from Manchester City Centre, OnSide is on a trajectory to reach even more young people than ever before.
