What is OTS?

OTS is there to provide a safe place and space, with a drop in style, during which local young people can come together, on their terms as far as possible. During these sessions we offer a variety of informal activities and programmes. Our open door policy means any young person should feel wanted, safe and respected.

Brief Description

As we are near the Kingston Fields some choose to come in and out during a session, we don't have a strict lock in policy so we call ourselves a 'drop in session'. We are particulalry attractive to those living in the Kyson area. Xbox, Wii and PS 2 are always favourites as is Andy's Russian National Anthem. We still play lots of Connectr 4 as well as Table tennis. pool and more.

Local Police Karle and Graeme are regulars and they are great at getting us involved in all sorts of stimulating programmes of fun. We work with a lot of other agencies like the Suffolk Coastal District Council skate park project as we host their 3B's meetings and the Summer programme whcih quickly sells out.

The work can be one to one, small group or a session with no particular format at all! We like to stay radical, so loud music and laughter are often part of an evening session. We do harm reduction and informal education to do with living in community and personal health and well being.

Most of all we simply love bring a part of young peoples lives as they grow and mature.

It can be wild and whacky and we love it (most times :-)
