Our community is in the top 7% most deprived areas in the UK, where many young people face poverty, crime, poor mental health, and limited opportunities. There are too few safe, positive places for them to go after school and at weekends. Demand for our grassroots youth provision has far exceeded expectations, with up to 70 young people attending each session. Without Phase 2, many children will miss out on the support, activities, and trusted relationships they need to thrive.

We'll solve this by expanding our grassroots youth provision through Phase 2, creating more space, better facilities, and increased capacity to support even more young people. The new phase will allow us to offer additional youth sessions, mentoring, sports, wellbeing activities, life skills, and a safe place where children feel valued and supported. By investing in our community, we'll provide positive opportunities, reduce isolation and anti-social behaviour, & help young people feel empowered
