A Strong
Generation.
Every Friday night, young people in Hamilton and Leicester come together — for sport, study, creative sessions, and real community.
We're Not Just
a Youth Club.
We're a Movement.
Active Alliance Youth Association (AAYA) is a youth-led organisation dedicated to building a strong, capable generation in Hamilton and Leicester — one young person at a time.
Every Friday night, we bring young people aged 13–25 together for sport, study, and everything in between — building real friendships and real skills along the way.

A Month of
Sessions & Community.
This Ramadan we ran four special Friday nights — a social evening, a study night, an open Iftaar for all, and a quiz night. Community at its best.
Every Friday.
Something Meaningful.
We meet every Friday night at hired venues across Hamilton and Leicester. Each month brings two study & social nights, a sports session, and a flexible session — plus special events twice a year.
Sports Night
One Friday a month dedicated to sport — football, volleyball, and more. Teamwork, competition, and keeping active in a fun, supportive setting.
MonthlyStudy & Social Nights
Two Fridays a month to come together, crack on with work, help each other study, and catch up. No pressure — just good company and a productive space.
2× a MonthFlex Sessions
One Friday a month that keeps things fresh — fitness challenges, creative projects, skill-building workshops, or whatever the group needs most.

Twice a year we go bigger — outings, day trips, and shared experiences that bring the whole group together and create lasting memories.
