Southside Youth Hub offers young people free gym qualification.

Young people have the chance to gain a Level 2 gym qualification for free at Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Southside Youth Hub in Bath. The sessions are open to 16 – 18 year olds and require no previous entry requirements to sign up.

The course begins on Monday 11 February and will last 15 working days. Assessments will take place the following week, between Monday 4 and Wednesday 6 March. Those who are successful will then be qualified to work in a gym environment or potentially gain a place on an apprenticeship programme.

Southside Youth Hub also provides one to one support on a range of issues to young people who need it, with evening drop in sessions every Monday and Wednesday from 7pm until 9pm.
The Youth Hub is running an introductory session to the gym qualification course at 11am on Friday 8 February, giving those who are interested a taste of what to expect. To book a place at the session, or to find out more about Southside’s other projects, contact Jenny on 01225 394482.

As the Leader of the Council this is a great initiative that we are starting here as it will help some young people to get a job and it will also provide opportunities for young people to make a difference in their lives with a range of activities from cooking to gardening.
