The Dreadnought Centre is a registered Charity working Countywide with children and young people aged 8 – 19 who are experiencing problems in their lives. The Dreadnought Centre seeks to empower young people to make informed decisions for themselves and to enable them to change their lives. We offer unconditional acceptance of young people working in a holisitic way.  We offer positive adult role models and many opportunities for young people to express themselves creatively.  The Dreadnought Centre also offers members of the community the opportunity to become involved by volunteering within the Centres and on an outreach basis.
