What happens at Teen Hub?
We have fun and meet new friends. Movies, music, quizzes, games and arts/craft. These sessions are suited to those aged 13-19.
These sessions will operate on reduced participants and staff/volunteers to allow for social distancing, therefore parents/carers need to stay onsite to meet any personal care or emergency medication needs.
If you wish to attend, please email Laura on projectleader@maemurrayfoundation.org . Laura will then be in contact with some new paperwork that needs to be completed to ensure the safety of your son/daughter.

In order to avail of this service, you must be able to collect and return the equipment to our office in Larne. You must also agree to the terms and conditions of use – these can be viewed on the Resource Library Request and Consent form below.
