Buxton For Youth

The charity Buxton for Youth is a partnership between the local community and the county council, providing a one-stop information and advice centre at 11 Market Street for young people living in and around the town. Young people can drop in for information, advice and counselling about the issues that matter to them, from housing and homelessness to bullying and family problems, family planning and drug and alcohol abuse.

The information shop also has close links with the Connexions service, enabling young people to obtain advice and support about jobs and training. The shop also has links with other agencies, enabling young people to get information from local solicitors, about welfare rights, social services, the youth offending service and police.

The centre also provides young people with free internet access, and builds on the existing Buxton for Youth services at the Market Street premises, including the cellar youth clubs, after school and weekend clubs and the High Peak Young People's Health Project.

The information shop is open throughout the week and Saturdays, and young people are invited to drop in for information. People seeking more detailed advice and guidance can make an appointment by ringing 01298 79643.
