EARLY SUMMER FNP ACTIVITY PROGRAMME ANNOUNCED (10/06/25) A variety of activities have been planned for the coming weeks, including jumping pillows, climbing wall and other outdoor activities at Knockhatch Adventure Park, ten-pin bowling and swimming at Freedom Leisure, and a pizza-making evening at the Station Youth Centre (to include games, karaoke, pool and air hockey). “The Friday Night Project outings and other events are organised to give young people new opportunities to achieve, and to reduce boredom,” said Youth Work Lead Kerrie Potter. “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 during the summer months and get involved.” For further details, including bookings and programmes, contact Andy Joyes on 01323 841702.

Local businesses are invited to make a significant impact on the lives of local young people by sponsoring future Friday Night Project activities. New corporate partners can help the Service continue to provide vital and timely services to support the town's young people – and help build stronger links in the community. “Sponsorship and donations have a huge impact, not just monetarily, but in terms of transforming the lives of many young people in the Hailsham area,” said Youth Service Manager, Andy Joyes. “Funding support and donations of equipment are vital to the running of our programmes – giving us the flexibility to adapt and develop our activities to ensure we're meeting the changing needs of the local community.” “By sponsoring the Friday Night Project in particular, businesses can help reduce antisocial behaviour in our community and give local young people a positive space to grow and connect. Corporate partners will also be able to demonstrate to the public their commitment to supporting the future of Hailsham and in return, will receive promotion by the Service to local audiences and readers through our various publicity channels.”
