What we offer
The Citadel has been helping children and young people make their way in Leith since 1980.
Our youth clubs offer a wide range of social, recreational and educational activities, and are open to everyone. We also provide extra support for children and young people, including specialised projects for unemployed young people, young mothers and young people who are struggling at school.
And, even if you’re a bit on the older side, you can still find your place at the Citadel as we open our doors for our weekly clubs, a Parent's Drop In, Family Days and a host of other community events.
