As the winter months approach and temperatures drop, The Hunslet Club continues to provide a vital service to the local community by offering a safe, warm, and welcoming space for all young people five nights a week, offering free hot food.
The Club has long been a trusted hub for youth activity, and during the colder months, it becomes even more important as a refuge from the winter chill and an alternative to unsupervised time on the streets.
The Hunslet Club is open five nights a week, ensuring that young people always have a place to go after school. With shorter days and colder nights, the Club provides a safe, indoor environment where young people can participate in one of the 114 affordable and accessible activity sessions, from sports and the arts or if they’d prefer, just somewhere to hang out at youth club. This helps keep them active, engaged, and connected with their peers in a positive setting.
Our open-access youth club offers free educational sessions such as world food cookery, girls talks, hair and beauty sessions, baking, yoga, guitar sessions and more at no cost ensuring young people have access to sessions that can develop them. But most importantly it’s a safe place to hang out and play football, pool, table tennis, exercise in the fully functioning gym. The Hunslet Club also has a games room with the latest games consoles and games such as FIFA.
The Club offers a safe space for those who may not have a warm home environment. The Club’s friendly staff and volunteers create a supportive atmosphere where young people feel valued and can receive guidance, support, and encouragement, particularly during the winter months when some may face additional challenges.
The Hunslet Club’s commitment to being a warm, safe place for young people during the winter months ensures that they have access to opportunities for personal growth, social connection, and most importantly, a safe environment to thrive.

While you’re here, can we ask a favour?
South Leeds Life is published by a not-for-profit social enterprise. We keep our costs as low as possible but we’ve been hit by increases in the print costs for our monthly newspaper which have doubled in the last two years.
