Manchester Young Lives is a registered charity that has been delivering youth work and play provision in Manchester for 40 years. MYL’s play sessions are designed to provide free, open-access and fully inclusive play opportunities to children and young people aged 6-13.

Children attending the Aquarius Community play sessions can take part in games, sports, arts and crafts, free play and other fun activities such as cooking and baking.

Manchester Young Lives' play sessions are open-access programmes, which means that the children can come and go as they please. MYL is therefore not a childcare provider, but all play sessions are supervised by MYL Staff. Parents/carers must complete a registration form upon arrival, at the first session their child attends.

Manchester Young Lives works to promote the social and educational inclusion of young people. The values we believe in are integrity, diversity, compassion, respect, and opportunity for all.
