Welcome to Friendship Fusion
A place to make friends, have fun and feel safe.
Friendship Fusion Southport is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company created to make social connection a real priority for young people who can too often find themselves isolated.
We listen to young people and shape our services around what they tell us. Our aim is simple: create inclusive opportunities that young people genuinely want to take part in, supported by trusted and skilled adults.
- For young people aged 10–16 in Southport.
- Inclusive support for disabled young people and those with other vulnerabilities.
- A psychologically informed environment supporting wellbeing and positive relationships.
What we want to create
Great places to go. Things young people want to do.
Our vision is for disabled and vulnerable young people in Southport to have trusted people to talk to, places to enjoy themselves, and opportunities to build lasting skills and friendships.

Why it matters
