It plays a key role in providing support for young people in Reading and surrounding areas and its activities are open to the whole community.

How is the Apollo Youth Club managed?
Apollo has a Board of Directors/Trustees who manages the organisation. Representation on the Board comes from people with key skills to enable the organisation to meet its obligations within the voluntary youth sector. The Board meets at least 11 times per year and in addition an Annual General Meeting is held in July.
