Lively, fun, ' sick' ... these are some of the words our members use to describe Inspire.

Working with young people age 7-18 we transform lives, helping them be the best they can be.

Opening in 2018, we ' re 8 years old. In those 8 years, we haven 't stopped learning and we haven 't stopped developing. From a global pandemic to the cost of living crisis, we are there for young people when they need us and adapt to their ever-changing needs.

At our most basic, we provide somewhere to go, something to do and someone to talk to.

Our ' see it to believe it' facilities give young people access to a range of activities, opens doors to a world of opportunities and provides the perfect space to develop new relationships with both peers and positive role models.

Through our doors, you 'll find a 3G pitch, gym, health and wellbeing room, teaching kitchen, dance studio, music room, and much more. Building on the success of our Adlington satellite centre, Inspire is expanding its youth offer into South Ribble. This post will oversee the delivery of our outreach and satellite programmes, ensuring high-quality opportunities and support for young people across the area.

Inspire isn’t just be a place to go, it' s a place to grow. And that' s as much about young people as it our staff team.

There ' s so many perks to joining our staff team!
