Young people have perhaps suffered the worst from the suffocating restrictions of lockdown.
But with the gradual easing of some measures next week, Carlisle Youth Zone will be reopening their doors – to much excitement from youngsters across the area.
The youth zone has put strict Covid-19 safety procedures in place and the team is currently working on a timetable for activities for the indoor spaces to be properly and efficiently used as well as reducing any possible spread of infection.
Youngsters are offered a wide selection of sports to get engaged with, from football to lacrosse, boxing, badminton, tennis, netball, basketball and even fencing and climbing and more.
