Ledley Hall’s strategic objective is to help young people take control of their lives. We work in partnership with children and young people as they seek to meet their personal, social, emotion-al, cultural, political and physical needs. We offer young people guidance and support and encourage them to excel. Leading by example we promote values
such as trust, honesty and friendship and dare young people to dream. In working to achieve these aims we will strive to create a climate of mutual respect, understanding and equality. We achieve this strategic objective by operating a Youth Club in dedicated premises. We have done this continuously since 1942. The premises have recently undergone a substantial refurbishment. We deliver services to young people in the 5-25 age range. This centre operates full-time over 7 days and has over 300 registered members. We also operate outside our premises in various ways such as facilitating an outreach programme in Inner East Belfast with a focus on the Mount Ward. We have a 14-seater minibus manned by volunteer drivers which extends the range of our activities. For instance “Residentials” and “Duke of Edinburgh” are greatly facilitated. Our programmes vary with the needs of the young people. Currently for example we have identified a need to support the young people in their formal education and so we operate a Homework Club. There are other programmes too numerous to mention here connected to issues of citizenship, personal health, child protection issues such as the dangers associated with the use of social media, parenting skills for young people and young males in particular and so on. However we don’t confine ourselves to doing programmes! We have a distinguished history of running a first class amateur boxing club manned by volunteers. We have won international recognition on many occasions up to and including the Commonwealth Games. Direct beneficiaries of course are our membership. Indirectly for instance parents are supported through their children availing of additional support mechanisms within the community. The wider community benefits when young people are equipped to play their part in the community and we would respectfully submit that we assist young people so to do. There is no private profit or benefit derived from our operations. All is done for the Public Benefit.
