Bramley Youth Club
Bramley Activ8 Youth Club is a fun and welcoming space for young people in School Years 3–9 to socialise, build confidence and take part in a range of positive activities.
The club runs during term time only on Fridays from 5:00pm to 6:30pm at Brocus Hall, Clift Meadow, Bramley, and costs just £2 entry, making it an affordable option for families.
The youth club is funded by Bramley Parish Council, and all funds raised through entry fees are reinvested into new equipment and resources to ensure sessions remain fun, engaging and entertaining each week.
Young people can enjoy a variety of activities including sports, games, and arts and crafts in a safe and supportive environment. A tuck shop is available each session, with items typically priced between £1–£3, while squash is provided free of charge.

Positive Pathways - Youth Voice Panel
The Positive Pathways Programme (PPP) is led by SNG (Sovereign Network Group). As part of this programme, RMD Adventure Learning C.I.C is funded by SNG for a two-year period to design and deliver the Positive Pathways Youth Panel, supporting youth voice and participation across Basingstoke & Deane.
The Youth Panel meets monthly to share lived experiences, identify emerging youth trends, and highlight key community safety concerns. Acting as an advisory group to the Positive Pathways Professional Meeting, the panel creates a two-way dialogue between young people and professionals.
Membership includes young people from local schools, colleges, alternative provision, and home-educated settings, with additional in-person sessions delivered during school holiday periods, subject to funding availability.

Specialist Mentoring with Counselling Skills
Specialist Mentoring with Counselling Skills is an innovative, person-centred approach designed to build strong, supportive relationships with young people who may be described as “hard to reach” or difficult to engage. The focus is on trust, understanding, and empowering each young person to recognise their own strengths and potential.
This service is led by Vincent Parkes, a highly respected Youth Counsellor and Mentor with over 13 years of professional training and frontline experience.
Throughout his career, Vincent has supported young people to move forward positively — whether through small but meaningful changes such as improved self-awareness, confidence, and self-esteem, or through significant life transformations that have seen individuals move away from criminality and struggle toward education, stability, and success.
