Frequently Asked Questions

  • Is there a cost to attending The Hangout Youth Centre?

    Noit is FREE and we are very proud of this! Cromwell Youth Trust work extremely hard to gain funding and financial supporters who enable us to provide our Youth Centre as a free service for all youth.

  • My child said there is a ‘check in’ system?

    Yes, they are correct. Cromwell Youth Trust want to ensure we are up to date with todays technology and we have invested in an iPad Sign-In system that enables us to have a record of attendees.

    Additionally, Health and Safety is a major factor in our operation so having important details for each child – including Emergency Contacts, disclosure of Special Needs, Food requirements, etc – assists in ensuring all youth are in a safe environment.

    This check-in system is simple and our Youth Workers give an explanation on its use and how to operate it to each youth who attends.

  • What is The Hangout Youth Centres Opening Hours?

    Monday to Friday opening 3pm until 5:30pm, but there are occurrences where we open earlier then standard.

    This is usually due to School being closed for Teacher Only days.

    To keep updated we recommend following us on Social Media and signing up to our Mail List.

  • What can my child do there?

    A whole ton of fun, in short!

    The Hangout Youth Centre has a pool table, large Jenga, large chess and regular chess, bean bags, card & board games, arts & crafts, TV for movies, music equipment (such as electric drum kit, ukuleles, guitars & piano), books, computers, fully equipped kitchen for cooking & baking, food and so much more!

    But one great opportunity for our youth is to socialise with friends and having the opportunity to make brand new ones.

    Oh! and we also have Milkshake Monday’s, Taco Tuesday’s (sponsored by Amigos Cromwell), Mystery Wednesdays and Pizza & Movie Friday’s (sponsored by Black Panther Pizza). How cool is that?!?

    Feel free to visit and explore The Hangout Youth Centre.

  • What age does my child need to be to attend?

    To take part in any of Cromwell Youth Trusts services you have to be in attendance of Grade 7 through to 13 – so young people are approximately 10/11 years old through to 18 years old.

    We ensure programmes that we operate are inclusive of all youth.

  • My oldest child attends and their younger sibling is in Primary School – can they come for a short time until I am able to collect them?

    Yes & No, your child who is in Grades 7 to 13 is eligible to attend our service but your Primary School aged child is unable. We cannot accommodate this as we are not a daycare or after school care service – which we recommend to utilise in this instance.

  • Do you accommodate my child who may have food allergies, special needs and/or requirements?

    Absolutely! Cromwell Youth Trust prides themselves on being an inclusive and welcoming organisation. We request that appropriate disclosures are made that relate to ensuring we can best accommodate your child – for example having gluten free food for all our occasions!

  • I still have questions but I cannot see them in the FAQS?

    That’s easy to fix! If you want to go to our Contact Us Page and let our team know what question you need answered and we will put it up here as well!
