What is Alternative? |
 |
|                   |
  |
UrbanAlternatives is for people who are not in the mainstream, who take the time to think and be different.
Yeah, this covers a really diverse range of individuals;
Emos, Goths, Scenes, Punks, etc, but we think we've all got something in common: we could never be normal

Why UrbanAlternatives? |
 |
  |
|   |
But the scene could always be better:
|
  |
             |
|   |
there could be more places to go: particularly for <18s
there could be more help with things you want to do
there could be more to bring people together
                                          from around the country
there could be someone to stand up for alternatives,
                                          locally and nationally
|
  |
             |
|   |
UrbanAlternatives aims to be all these things.

What do we do? |
 |
                  |
  |
Nationally, urbanalternatives.org.uk aims to become the voice of young alternatives
We already have projects in two cities where we support alternatives who are targeted by the authorities for hanging out together. We're currently looking at some new towns and cities where young alternatives have asked us to help them put things on.

How does this website work?
Registering is quick and simple
You get a Profile which you can customise with your own page, galleries, blog, etc.
But most of the action is in the forums: that's where people discuss and plan things, or just chat about whatever interests them.
We're still building the website,
so sorry if some of it's a bit awkward!
