About FYP

FYP is a group of young people living and working in Furness aiming to get the most out of life. Our members include graduates, apprentices, trainees, lawyers, accountants, entrepreneurs and people from across the world now living in Furness.

We get together most weeks for a few beers and regularly hold events that make the most of what's on offer in the area: adventures in the Lake District, music nights in Barrow, kite surfing off Walney, anything you could want.

It's free to join and most of our events are free. It's about making the most of everything on your doorstep and having a good crack while meeting new people.

We don't do things by halves and we hope you don't either... so look forward to seeing you at our next event - sign up now.
