WELCOME...to the Tain Youth Café’s website. We hope you enjoy reading this and at the end if we have left you with any questions then please give us a call or an email, all details can be found on the “contact” page.

The Youth Café has changed so much over the last few years due to a tremendous amount of support for which we are very grateful. What started out as a Plumbers shop and yard is now a first class youth facility for the young people of Tain and surrounding area. The key focus of the Café’s work is the releasing the potential of all those (especially the children and young people) who attend and the way we achieve this is via the YMCA method of the Wholeness approach of Body Mind and Spirit. We are proud to be part of this great international movement which serves in over 140 different countries world wide. In 2008 6 people from Tain travelled to Prague to be  part of one of the largest ever gatherings of YMCA’s from around the world.

Between September and April we have about  400 visits each week and this couldn’t be possible without the fantastic support of the 25+ volunteers who assist us each week. We look after our volunteers and reap the rewards from them and to all of them we say a big ‘Thank you’  however we could always do with more so if you can help we please can we encourage you to give us a call.  

One of the key ways we work is by small group’s and we have four groups Youth Committee, Youth Forum, Rock Solid Crew and the Puppet Crew. We believe that via these groups we can encourage the young people who use the café to give something back.
