PLUS Youth provides holiday, weekend and evening group activities with the aim of allowing young people more opportunities to socialise and try new things.  Young people can choose from a wide range of activities, such as dance workshops, laser tag, bowling, themed crafts or relaxed movie nights.  Events take place both in the PLUS office and out in the wider community.  At all events each young person is allocated a support worker to ensure they are safe and supported to engage and interact with their peers.

It helps me get a social life.’ ‘It’s important because it gets me out of the house – I don’t get out much.’

Plus Youth services can be funded by Social Work Care Plans or Direct Payments.  If living within the Stirling Council area block funding is available for young people who do not have allocated social workers.
