Youth Work
Our Youth Work Team collaborates with young residents to access opportunities, develop skills, and create positive change as identified by our communities.
We offer a core youth programme for local young people aged 11-19, and up to 25 for young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
The programme aligns with the school term timetable, there is something on offer everyday after school, Monday to Friday focusing on fun, friendship and opportunities for young people to choose what they want to do.
We also run trips and activities in the school holidays for all our regular members.
Our new youth centre, The Weller Youth Centre, is now open!
The centre has been funded through the Department for Culture, Media and Sport’s Youth Investment Fund, following a successful bid from The Hangleton & Knoll Project and Brighton and Hove Council.
