Get involved

It takes a whole community.

The Outside Club exists because people show up. Not just for young people, but alongside them. Here's how you can be part of it.

Why your support matters

Everything we do is free. That's non-negotiable.

No young person should have to pay to belong somewhere. Every session, every trip, every hot chocolate on a freezing Tuesday evening. It's free.

That only works because of the people and organisations who back us. Whatever you've got to give (time, money, skills, or the spare footballs in your garage) there's a way in.

You don't need a youth work qualification. You need to be reliable, warm, and up for being outside in all weathers.

Come and try a session. See what it's like. If it fits, we'll find the right role for you, whether that's on the ground with young people or behind the scenes helping us grow.

For funders

Fund us

We're a registered charity (The Outside Club CIO, est. December 2025). If you're a grant-maker, business, or individual looking to back youth work that's community-led, evidence-based, and entirely free at the point of access, we'd welcome a conversation.

We can evidence impact. We can also just tell you what Tuesday evenings look like on the Pategill estate now compared to three years ago.

However you show up, you're helping a young person know they belong.

Still not sure? Get in touch and we'll figure it out together.
