How to join
Joining Caxton Youth Club
Caxton Youth welcomes learning disabled and autistic young people in Westminster aged 11-25. Joining is simple and the benefits are huge: new friends, fun activities, and skills for life. Come see what we’re about!
Who can join
- If you are aged between 11-25 years old.
- If you live in the borough of Westminster.
- If you are learning disabled or autistic.
What to expect as a member
If you join Caxton Youth, you can come to the club one night a week. The night you come on will be with other members your age. As a member, you can also go on fun trips during the holidays!
Services
We offer seven core programmes that are focussed on our members’ wellbeing, independence and access to employment. We want to remove limiting barriers for members and open up opportunities.
Facilities
Our facilities were designed to be accessible, engaging and fun. We offer a host of activities on site, from our sensory room to our computer room, as well as minibus transport if needed.
Holiday activities
During the holidays we organise fun trips around London and further afield, whether heading to a musical or getting out in nature to go pond dipping.
