Room 13 Youth Centre (Okehampton)

Welcome to Room 13 Youth Centre (Okehampton)

Small but perfectly formed, Room 13 is a great place for young people aged 11-19 from Okehampton and surrounding villages to meet up and let loose… We’ve got music, pool, cookery and there are always plenty of activities on the go… There is even the odd BBQ in our garden! You might just be looking for advice or support around sexual health & relationships, moving into employment or education and training – all of which you can chat with our friendly youth workers about – we’re here!

Our youth hub also offers a number of targeted provisions to provide additional support to those who need it. Ultimately, we aim to provide young people with opportunities that make constructive use of their leisure time, raise aspirations and encourage a positive, independent lifestyle. Our sessions are FREE – so why not come and visit? You can check out our timetable to find a session that suits you!

Like Room 13 our kitchen is small but perfectly formed - young people at Room love cooking for each other in our tiny but well equipped kitchen.

Our garden is used for BBQ’s, games with water balloons, graffiti art, gardening and just general relaxing. Come and help us fill it with flowers and fun.

Our most recent addition - we have converted an office into a small but well equipped music room - fancy starting a band? Come and start it at Room 13!
