Traditional youth clubs brought back to Southend with help of PFCC funding
Southend United Community Foundation has launched a traditional style youth club for young people in the centre of the city with support from the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner.
The youth hub will be held at Garon Park, between 5pm and 7pm on Thursdays and offers indoor and outdoor activities to keep young people occupied. Young people, age eight to 18, can take part in football, table tennis, listen to music, watch YouTube videos on a TV or play board games or PlayStation together.
In future, there will also be education-based workshops on offer on topics such as gambling, and the opportunity to complete FA Playmaker, the free entry-level football course. With access to Southend United players and tickets to games, it is hoped the club will be a popular draw to young people.
