As well as being highly disciplined we want to ensure Judo is both fun and interesting to learn. You are quite welcome to come and check out the club during the training sessions.

We are open to groups and organisations (youth clubs, theatre groups, uniformed groups, art clubs and schools etc.) who pay a small annual membership fee, entitling them to our free materials and access to our competitively priced Art Shop.

Thornhill Plus You is the name which represents the government funded regeneration New Deal for Communities (NDC) programme.

Thornhill’s strong sense of community is one of the reasons it was chosen as a site for regeneration in 1999.

Thornhill Plus You is based at the Eastpoint Centre on Burgoyne Road. We have 20 board members and seek to involve more local residents into our projects. All our members can be contacted by email or telephone and details can be found in the Contact us section of this web site.

We want to build upon our strong community spirit and promote our better, safer, happier Thornhill.

One in four women experience domestic abuse at some time in their lives. It can affect people of any age, any background. The abuse may be physical, emotional, financial, sexual – or a combination of these, in fact any controlling behaviour which leaves a woman living in fear. If such things are happening to you, you probably feel very isolated.

Southampton Women’s Aid workers in Thornhill are here to offer help, advice, information and support to women who are experiencing abuse or who have experienced it in the past. We understand how difficult it can be to speak of these things. We will not judge you or tell you what to do.

The effects of domestic violence on children and young people can last for years, whether they experience it directly or indirectly. Women’s Aid has a children and young person’s outreach service. Some of the issues we cover are, what do we mean by domestic violence, looking at the effects of domestic violence on children and young people, building self esteem and keeping safe. The phone number for this service is the same as for the Women’s Outreach Service

When you contact us if you get the answerphone leave your number if it is safe to do so, and we will ring you back. Otherwise keep trying. Particularly good times to ring are Monday mornings, Tuesday lunchtimes and Friday afternoons.
