Hailsham Youth Service

NEW YEAR CLUB SESSIONS AND OPENING TIMES (02/01/26)

As the New Year begins, Hailsham Youth Service continues to provide a wide range of after-school and evening activity sessions for young people, following a recent expansion of its programmes and service provision.

The Service delivers activities, support and development opportunities for young people across the local area. Its main base of operations is The Station Youth Centre in Western Road, which hosts a variety of sessions, including those held in the lower-floor space known as The Underground. In addition, Hailsham Youth Service operates the Hellingly Youth Hub and the Monday Youth Hub during the week. Further provision is offered through the Friday Night Project , which organises a diverse programme of free and low-cost recreational activities on Friday evenings at various locations.

This breadth of activity supports our ongoing aim to improve the life chances of young people in Hailsham.”
