Looking for something to do

Looking for something to do? Need someone to talk to? Want to meet new people?

Sorted Online has hundreds of opportunities and ideas which can help – all for young people and all in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough. You can look for places near you, or about a particular topic, and you can get a map of where a place is.

You can search for organisations, clubs and projects and find out what they have to offer. Sorted Online has information on youth clubs and projects, chances to volunteer, where you can find out about health issues, help and support agencies, on arts, sports and leisure,  … the list goes on!

Sorted Online isn’t ‘finished’ – we keep adding more info – so please keep coming back to visit. At the moment we’re still short on arts, sports and leisure activities – and we’re keen to improve that. If you know of somewhere that ought to be included, or something that needs updating, let us know. You can email us here – infoteam@connexionscp.co.uk or give us a call on 01480 375261.

The organisations listed here are not part of Connexions or ‘approved’ by Connexions – follow the ‘Disclaimer’ link to see our policy relating to the information in ‘Sorted Online’.

Be careful out there! Check this out …

Always be careful about your personal safety. Most of the organisations included in ‘Sorted Online’ have child protection policies and will have carefully checked the background of their staff. Organisations especially for young people will have child protection policies; some of the others may not, especially if they are organisations for people with a particular interest, run by volunteers and with members who are mainly over 18.

  • Just as you are careful whenever you go out to meet new people, be careful when you are going to a new organisation for the first time, especially if it doesn’t meet in a public place.
  • It is sensible to phone first, to check that the information given here is still up to date.
  • Go with a friend, or, if that’s not possible, make sure that a parent / relative or friend knows where you are going and when you should be back.
  • If you’ve got a mobile phone, take it with you and make sure it’s charged up!
  • If you need to catch a bus, check the times so you don’t have to hang around.
  • Be as careful as usual about giving your name and address or phone number to new people; be sure you are confident about them.
  • If you or your parents / carers have any doubts about an organisation, check before you go for the first time.
  • When you first go to meet new people, don’t arrange to visit them in their homes or outside the normal sessions of the organisation.
  • If after your first visit you have doubts about the place, talk to your parents/carer or someone else you trust before you decide whether to go back.
