HideOut Youth Zone is the latest referral partner for the Charity, joining over 30 of Manchester’s leading youth organisations providing the city’s most ambitious young people with the best possible start by removing financial barriers to their success.
The Manchester’s Rising Stars Fund offers 16-25 year olds grants of up to £2,000 to help them take their next steps to success in work, qualifications or entrepreneurship.
HideOut Youth Zone in Gorton is a flagship £6.6m youth centre for young people across Manchester, which overcame all odds by opening during the height of the pandemic. HideOut is dedicated to supporting young people with three core provisions they say all young people need and deserve: “somewhere to go, something to do and someone to talk to”.
HideOut supports young people to fulfil their potential, and the Manchester’s Rising Stars Fund is the perfect stepping-stone to help young people progress from the Youth Zone into a successful career or business. Their state-of-the art catering department, media studio, and health & beauty facilities offer unparalleled development opportunities for young people attending the centre.
