There’s ‘No Limits’ to young people’s opportunities across Southampton

Young people are celebrating their new youth space, after a ‘once-in-a-charity-lifetime’ revamp. No Limits Head Office on The Avenue in Southampton has been reconfigured and renovated to create brand new spaces for young people, thanks to a £ 712,447.00 grant from the Youth Investment Fund.

The two side-by-side buildings have seen major redevelopment, with the downstairs of one turned into a large space for young people, including an open-access drop-in.

No Limits is a charity that provides a unique combination of prevention, early intervention and crisis support to young people, based on a nationally evidenced model. They offer information, advice, counselling and support through a range of services available ‘under one roof’.

From the summer, this brand-new drop-in will be open for three days a week after school hours for young people aged 11-16, thanks to separate funding from the Prudence Trust.

The addition of extra counselling rooms, designed to be trauma-informed and accessible, allows for additional capacity for No Limits’ counselling services.

There is also a brand-new separate building in the garden – The Treehouse. A large hub building, it consists of a large main space, a private room, a kitchenette and accessible toilet. This building will be used for young people’s groups and along with two conference-style rooms in our main buildings, will be available to hire for the community.

The No Limits Advice Centre drop-in and counselling rooms have also been redecorated and re-furnished, making a brighter, more accessible and welcoming space – matching the welcome young people receive from the experienced staff.
