Hailsham Youth Service: change of opening times at clubs and hubs

The service, which provides activities, support services and opportunities for young people in the local area, operates the Square Youth Cafe, Hellingly Youth Hub, Monday Youth Hub, Eastside Youth Hub and Safehub sessions on weekdays.

A varied line-up of free activities have been designed to liven up the spring and forthcoming summer period and encourage even more young people through the doors of the youth centres.

Andy Joyes, youth service manager, said: "Our clubs, centres and activities give young people an opportunity to create friendships and promote wellbeing, and they always look forward to the various activities and are keen to take advantage of the many opportunities being offered by our youth worker team.

"With a slight change in operating hours from 1st April, we are pleased to be able to offer something for young people after school, on weekday evenings and during the school holidays, the wide range of activities available fulfilling our aim to improve the life chances of young people in the town."
