NEW TAVISTOCK YOUTH CAFE

We support young people aged between 11 and 19 in Tavistock and surrounding area. We provide advice, guidance, information, fun, and a range of experiences through generic youth work, drop in sessions, music projects, life skills, from Summer programmes to individual advice, signposting and support. The Youth Cafe is an organisation that is driven by Young People, for Young people.
