Dhekelia Senior Youth Club
Dhekelia Youth Centre is a facility open to all young people in the Garrison. We offer sessions to
juniors (school yr 3+4), Intermediates, known as ‘Inters’, (school yr 5, 6 and 7) and the majority of
our sessions are for Seniors (school yr 8 plus).
The Centre has a coffee bar / internet facility which is open every session, a disco room,
pool/snooker room, art and craft room, Wii machines, BFBS television, a floodlit basketball court,
hairdressing facilities, floodlit 5 a side pitch and is the only Youth Club to have a Laser Quest
playing area. The Laser Quest is run by a committee of Senior members and is available during
most Youth Club sessions for an additional €1 charge.
The weekly senior sessions include open youth club sessions, where a variety of activities,
workshops and projects are on offer, or if you prefer, you can simply come and have a chat with
friends over a can of coke or a kick around on the football pitch. We have a weekly senior member
training session, where the group works on leadership skills preparing them for running the Laser
Quest facility or running activities in our junior sessions. Youth achievement awards are also offered
as is a weekly netball coaching session.
Each month the members choose a trip venue (or 3) where we will organise and visit local places of
interest or attractions such as top restaurants, water parks and shopping venues. Activities such as
diving, gliding and rock climbing have all recently been included in our programme
The atmosphere in the Youth Centre is one that welcomes everyone in a warm, comfortable and
supportive environment.
The staff will encourage you to take as much of a role as you wish to in the running of the club and
in the activities and will support everyone as individuals - giving information and support as
requested or needed. All staff work confidentially and will only share information if you are in danger
of harm or you are putting others in danger.
If you would like more information, please contact Lynne Everett, the Area Youth and Community
worker by phone or E-mail as above.
