Come in, hang out and have some fun! For anyone who isn’t sure what we are on about, Drop In is essentially our version of a youth club. Drop In runs every week and is a great way of meeting new friends and finding new passions… and it is totally free! Drop In is your space. Whether you want to chill and chat with your friends, play computer games or do something more active or creative, we aim to provide a space for you to just be you. Drop In takes place in our youth hall which has everything you need. There are comfy sofas, games, computers, pool, table tennis, air hockey, and sometimes you can even use our recording studio. Our team of youth workers are there to support you, whether you are in the mood for a quiet bit of nail painting or if you want help arranging a massive game of dodgeball! And if it hasn’t been your day, our team are also trained and equipped to talk you through any issues, questions, challenges or worries you might be facing.

We see a future in which young people are change makers, with clear confident voices that are heard above the noise. A future in which any young person from any background can grow and flourish to become their best selves. In that future they exercise both their rights and responsibilities and invest their lives in building strong communities. We walk together with young people as trusted partners who support, guide, inspire and empower them with that future in mind. We are the Mix.

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

We aim to create a place where all young people feel welcome and relaxed, and respond to each young person’s needs, working together to help everyone feel they belong at The Mix.

Inclusive Support
All of our amazing projects at The Mix are supported by Anna our SEN Youth Worker.
This includes inclusion training, adapting resources, building support networks in the community, and creating bespoke approaches to working with young people with different needs.

Meet and Greet
Come and meet Anna for a chat and a relaxed tour of the spaces when the building is sensory-friendly. Plus meet some of the team and our programmes.

Inclusive Spaces
The Mix building hosts lots of amazing programmes; we aim to adapt our spaces to be accessible and sensory-friendly for all people.
We have developed a photographic visual tour of the building as an introduction to the space.
At our Open Access Drop Ins we run a chill-out space, which is quieter and has lots of creative activities.

Supporting Young People at The Mix
We support young people with diverse needs to develop their self-esteem and build confidence, self-awareness, and resilience.

Mentoring is a stepping stone for young people with additional needs to be supported through challenges, such as social anxiety or isolation, and to support them to access social groups and build friendships at The Mix and beyond.

Expression
Expression is our Art course. Each week we support young people by looking at different ways they can use art to explore themselves, their skills, and their future goals and dreams. This includes exploring values, finding out about strengths, and building communication skills.

Symmetra
Symmetra is a fun and activity-based course exploring neurodiversity and social anxiety.
Over 7 weeks, Symmetra seeks to support young people in growing their self-understanding, confidence, and emotional intelligence.
