Live Well Space: Rochdale Gateway Leisure will deliver a welcoming Live Well Space for autistic and neurodivergent young people aged 14–25 who are currently underserved and at risk of isolation, poor mental health and long-term inequality. The project will provide a safe, inclusive and community-led environment where young people can build relationships, develop confidence and access support in ways that feel accessible and relevant to them. The project will provide structured support in partnership with local schools, colleges and transition teams, while also engaging young people who are home-educated or not currently in formal education. The core offer will include fortnightly peer-led social sessions, monthly weekend drop-in provision and parallel parent support. Alongside this, we will embed life skills development and progression pathways. Young people will be supported to move from attending sessions into active roles within the space, including volunteering, peer mentoring and contributing to delivery and decision-making. |
