Hailsham Youth Service continues to grow, providing a range of opportunities and activities for young people in the town between the ages of 11-17.
A variety of activities for young people have been planned for the Friday Night Project in the run up to Christmas including open ski sessions and skiing lesson packages at Knockhatch Ski Centre and Ringo tobogganing and other activities at Knockhatch Adventure Park, in addition ten-pin bowling at Freedom Leisure and a big Youth Night at The Station Youth Centre on Friday 18th October.
Full details of activities are available on the Service’s website: https://www.hailshamyouthservice.org. To book a space on any of the outings, visit https://hailsham-youth-service.sumupstore.com/.
The Friday Night Project, which is funded and managed by the Hailsham Youth Service, works with local businesses, Freedom Leisure and Knockhatch to help create alternative recreational activities for young people on Friday evenings, will also continue to be a feature in young people’s social events calendar for the remainder of the year.
“The Friday Night Project gives young people an opportunity to experience challenges of different recreational activities and provide them with opportunities to socialise and boost self-esteem and well-being. I’m confident it will continue to be successful well into the future,” said Deputy Youth Service Manager Joel Cottingham.
“Young people always look forward to various outings which make up part of Hailsham Youth Service’s provision – including the Friday Night Project – and are always keen to take advantage of the many opportunities on offer.”
The Mayor of Hailsham Cllr Paul Holbrook has commended the Hailsham Youth Service for providing young people with ample activities in a safe environment to help keep them occupied when not at school, and for the dedication and enthusiasm of the Town Council’s youth workers.
Cllr Holbrook commented: “It is a great achievement that the Town Council, its youth service and project partners continue to come together to give young people opportunities to engage in exciting recreational activities. Furthermore, since becoming mayor five years ago, it has been a pleasure to work with the youth service team.”
“Their positive attitude and obvious enjoyment in working with young people has ensured that the service has gone from strength to strength and continues to do so with not only the organisation of Friday Night Project and other recreational activities, but by improving the quality of life for local young people through the integrated provision of opportunities for personal and social development, information and advice.”
