Inspire’s Ipswich Youth and Community Work team is based at our youth hub on Lindbergh Road.
We give children and young people somewhere to go, something to do and trusted adults to talk to.

Open access and drop-in sessions
Sessions advertised as drop-in or outreach sessions do not require pre-booking or registration. These are open sessions, open to all young people in the community. When young people arrive for the first time, our youth workers will collect basic details in order to keep them safe during their first visit. They will then be given a letter for their parents or guardians and a link to a consent form. The consent form will then need to be completed by a parent or guardian before they return for their second visit.
Social Space and sessions for over 16s
We will ask you to complete a registration form when you come to your first session.
Other activities
Some activities may need pre-booking, such as some of our holiday programmes. This helps us to plan and ensure we have adequate resources for these sessions. Activities which require pre-booking will be listed on eequ.org/youthwork
