Renew HG1 YP
A wellbeing cafe and drop-in space for high school students.
Who is Renew HG1 YP for?
Our weekly term-time pop-up space is for high school students across Harrogate. Whether they want to just grab a hot chocolate and go, have a quick chat with one of our team or drop in to stay a while, we aim to always be there to listen every Tuesday after school. Students can access all three offerings simply by turning up.
Our pop-up café is a welcoming space where young people can be themselves and unwind after school. At its heart is a focus on wellbeing, with an emphasis on conversation, connection, and gratitude.
If you’re a professional, parent or carer and want to come and visit, you're very welcome. Please just get in touch so you can tell us when to expect you

Where & When?
Every term time Tuesday from 3:30 PM, you’ll find us outside Harrogate Baptist Church Community Hall, right across from the Odeon cinema, serving free hot chocolate in the colder months and ice pops when it’s warm. Our central spot makes it easy for students from all Harrogate high schools to swing by and say hello.
We invite students to stop by for a quick chat about their day, share something they’re grateful for, or simply hang out. Our café is open until 5:00 PM for anyone who wants to stay a bit longer.
When students come inside, we just ask for their name, school, year group, and one contact number, so we know who to reach in an emergency. We’ll also give them a wallet-sized card to share with their parent or carer with our details.
There are always at least two team members present inside our building, and all our staff and volunteers are DBS checked for everyone’s peace of mind.
