Funded and managed by the Town Council, the Service provides activities, support services and opportunities for young people in the local area and operates The Station Youth Centre (situated at the newly acquired youth service building in Western Road), Hellingly Youth Hub and Monday Youth Hub, in addition to organising a line-up of free and low-cost activities at various locations as part of the ‘Friday Night Project'. |
The service also operates a detached (outreach) service on weekday evenings, as well as offering information, support and advisory services for young people experiencing a range of issues such as those relating to mental health, sexual health and unemployment. |
"One aspect of the Service's growth is the recent move to its new operational hub in Western Road, which reflects the changing expression of youth work locally and nationally and provides a better resource to meet the developing needs of a growing town. |
"Hailsham Youth Service is expanding in the level of support being given to young people throughout the town,” said Deputy Youth Service Manager Joel Cottingham. "We are delighted to have moved into the new premises which better reflect the variety and quality of provision needed by Hailsham's growing population." |
"Regarding the Amber Mark Project in particular, it is imperative that we engage and listen to all voices across our communities, including young people. If we want to continue to successfully deliver inclusive and positive change in our public spaces, it's absolutely vital that we do this to allow them to connect with the local community, reduce antisocial behaviour and help them to develop their sense of self." |
