Encounter is a community hub run out of the old Happit shop in Drummers Corner, Peterhead. It was first established as a youth café following the Choose Peterhead consultation, in which a hub for young people in the centre of town was identified as a key priority.

Since then, Encounter has expanded to also include a language café for people to learn English and practice speaking with locals, and an opportunities café for young people to gain advice and help.

Youth Café:

The Encounter youth café runs three nights a week providing young people with fun and diversionary activities as well as access to advice, signposting, and volunteering opportunities.

The youth café is free and open to anyone under 25. It is a safe, fun place, for people to come and relax, socialise, and make friends.

Activities include: Basketball, stilts, circus skills, pool, table football, table tennis, colouring in, chess and Wii. Snacks are also available to buy.
