Escape Youth Cafe
Open 5 nights a week, Escape is a drop-in facility for young people in Hawick and the surrounding area where we provide a safe and fun environment for young people to meet, creating opportunities and supporting development. We offer a wide variety of activities including creative media, games, music, arts, baking and cooking, interest groups, issue-based sessions, excursions and residentials. The project has been running successfully for 8 years and is not only the only voluntary youth provision in the area but also the only youth provision open on Saturday evenings for young people.
We work closely in partnership with the school and Community Learning and Development running group work programmes and activity programmes at weekends and school holidays. We also link with other youth service providers including specialist services through network and multi-agency meetings to share practice, training, avoid duplication of services and identify gaps in provision.
