Bloxwich Community Partnership (T.P Riley Community Association)

The Electric Palace is a youth Centre, based in Blakenall in Walsall. We have many years of experience of engaging with young people in the local area and have been an Alternative Education provider for over 15 years, working with young people excluded from mainstream education for behavioural reasons. We offer a holistic approach to education and work with small groups, no bigger than 6. All of the qualifications and courses that we offer have personal development and the development of life skills at the heart of them. We aim to encourage and empower our young people to become the best versions of themselves, and to learn from their mistakes and understanding that every choice they make in life has a consequence, and we want them to make positive choices that lead to positive consequences. We always say that we look at the reason behind a young person's behaviour, rather than the behaviour itself. We build trusting and open relationships with our young people and their families to make positive, lasting changes that aid our young people in progressing in the future.
