Youth Groups - BDP

The Family Team run a free and confidential youth group and mentoring program for children and young people who are living with a family member who uses alcohol or drugs. 

You can contact the Family Team on 0117 987 6009

The youth group is an opportunity to get out for the evening and have some fun with other young people. We have groups for 5 – 10 year olds and for 11 – 16 year olds, covering the whole of Bristol. We have dinner together and do activities including arts and crafts, outdoor play, cooking and 1-to-1 time if a young person wants to take some time out.

All groups are held for two hours one week-day evening a week, twice a month for 5 – 10 year olds and monthly for 11 – 16 year olds. Transport is arranged to get the young person there and take them home again, either by car or minibus.
