Hailsham Youth Service

NEXT ROUND OF ACTIVITIES FOR YOUNG PEOPLE (14/09/24)

Hailsham Youth Service continues to go grow, providing a range of opportunities and activities for young people in the town between the ages of 11-17.

The Friday Night Project (FNP), which is run by Hailsham Youth Service, supported by the Safer Wealden Partnership and funded by Hailsham Town Council, works in partnership with organisations such as Knockhatch, Hailsham Community College and Freedom Leisure to help create fun recreational activities for young people on Friday evenings and will continue to be a feature on their social events calendar throughout the rest of September and into the autumn.

A variety of activities have been planned, including indoor and outdoor activities at Knockhatch Adventure Park and a Halloween-themed pottery glazing session at Belle's Pottery Studio and Cafe.

Also featuring is a Youth Night at the new Station Youth Centre premises in Western Road, at which young people will be able to play pool, table tennis, board games and take part in craft activities.

"The Friday Night Project outings are organised to give young people new opportunities to achieve, and to reduce boredom," said Youth Service Manager Andy Joyes . "Young people are guaranteed to enjoy the variety of activities on offer which they can all get involved in."

"Through organising such activities, young people are provided with opportunities to build confidence and develop a broad range of team-building skills that will help create a strong foundation for their future. I would encourage young people to take advantage of the outings that are available to them and get involved."

Town Mayor , Cllr Paul Holbrook commented: "Parents can be confident that Hailsham Youth Service provides a safe environment for our local young people, giving them opportunities to socialise and take part in various activities after school and on weekday evenings, including those activities which make up the Friday Night Project programme."
