Base71 Youth Zone

Who we are

Base71 Youth Zone is the place where young people are able to try over 20 activities, including football, boxing, climbing, creative arts, music, drama and employability training.

Located in central Barnsley, opposite the bus station on Schwabisch Gmund Way, Base71 Youth Zone is staffed by skilled youth workers.

This is a space for young people to find mentors, confidants and guides who will empower and champion them, building connections that will pave the way for brighter futures.
