We are Manchester Settlement Youth. We aim to inspire our young people to thrive and become powerful leaders of their own future!

Currently all children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 can get free school meals whatever your income. But, if you receive one of the qualifying incomes (see below) you will need to register for benefit related free school meals in order for the registration system to recognise that your child is eligible for a school holiday activity place.

Your child may qualify for free school meals if you get any of the following:
– Income Support
– Income-based Jobseeker’s Allowance
– Income-related Employment and Support Allowance
– The guaranteed part of Pension Credit
– Child Tax Credit (if your annual gross income is £16,190 or less and you don’t get Working Tax Credit)
– Working Tax Credit run-off after you come off Working Tax Credit
– Universal Credit that you applied for on, or after, 1 April 2018. As long as your household income is less than £7,400 a year after tax, not including any benefits
– You may also qualify if you are an asylum seeker, or if a child receives any of these benefits directly, instead of through a parent or guardian.

Tuesday night is Youth Night! Our Youth Clubs are a safe place for young people to come, meet and take part in exciting activities, hang out with others their own age, develop friendships, learn new skills and most importantly have fun!

COME AND JOIN THE FUN!

At Manchester Settlement Youth we believe that our young people should be at the centre of everything we do and their voices should be heard. We have developed a youth panel, led by our youth trustee who sits on the board of the charity.

The youth panel helps the youth team to plan and deliver all of our sessions and every couple of months plan and deliver a session entirely on their own. They also help the team to gather opinions of the other young people who attend youth club about whats going well, what could be improved and any ideas they have for the future.

Easter half term fun!

Well done to Chelsea & her team for all their hard work putting on such a great two weeks of fun!
