DRCYouth Project ADHD Youth Club

Since early 2018, the Dumbarton Road Corridor Youth Project has run a youth club specifically for kids with ADHD and their brothers and sisters, aged 8-12, alongside our ADHD Parent Support Group. 

The group runs on the last Wednesday of each month from 6-7.45pm, with our parent support group running alongside so that parents can stay and share information and support (though dropping your kids and returning at the end is an option too...)

 The group is led by the qualified DRC youth workers who have also had training on ADHD and offer a range of activities which are fun for the kids and also enable them to learn more about themselves and about ADHD. These include air hockey, computer games, craft activities and trips to the local park.

What parents say

"For my son this is the only place that he is consistently positive about, and he’s counting the days on the calendar for the next group. And I expect it’s the same for everyone else, but the amount of sports and activities that you’ve tried and worked your way through, and they just can’t maintain it. And it kind of wears them, it’s not good for their self esteem. But being able to come here is so positive.”

"My child loves it – he loves it in here . He said ‘it’s great – everyone is like me’. And the kids have tolerance for each other."

“The whole time they’ve been here and the youth group has been running, I’ve not been aware of an issue. There’s really not been one. It’s pretty amazing."
