Club history

A Youth Café in Kyle was established in 2004 with the vision of providing a safe haven for young people throughout Lochalsh. It is now known as the Lochalsh Youth Club. Over years facilities have been developed to promote a centre that is both appealing and enlightening. Meeting friends away from home and school is popular, rewarding and of benefit to the community. Taking ownership of and responsibility for the Lochalsh Youth Club is a prime objective of young people and volunteers alike.
