The Avon Tyrrell centre was donated to the UK Youth charity in 1949, and today provides learning opportunities for children and young adults, groups and individuals to, ‘Experience, Learn and Develop’.

We run activities and sessions to suit everyone from schools, sport groups and youth groups, to disability groups, faith groups and even corporate clients.
