Funky Teens – disability youth clubs with a difference


Do you consider yourself to have a physical or learning disability? If you are aged between 13 and 19, why not come along to one of our Funky Teens youth clubs?

Funky Teens are a group of young people with disabilities who get together every other Saturday at different centres across East Sussex.

You can take part in lots of different group activities, such as:

  • games
  • cooking
  • sports
  • discussions, and
  • planning what activities we do at Funky Teens.

Maybe you could learn to dance or play the drums at one of our workshops? You could also join us on days out to places like Laser Quest and Knockhatch adventure park. Whatever you choose to join in with, it’s a chance to meet new people and make new friends.
