Preston Youth Centre takes major step forward as plans lodged for new location
Plans to create a multi-million pound Youth Zone in Preston city centre have taken a major step forward as a planning application was formally submitted.
Young people will also be able to access support from dedicated youth workers - all for just 50p per visit and £5 annual membership. OnSide describes its Youth Zones "state-of-the-art spaces for young people filled with incredible facilities and staffed by highly skilled youth workers that believe in young people and help them to achieve their potential".
The plans have been long in the making, having been considered and discussed for more than a decade. Lancashire County Council’s cabinet voted at the last minute to abandon the project when it was considered for a different location in 2018. The Youth Zone’s capital and revenue costs will be met by a number of financial contributions from Preston City Council, the Town Fund, various charitable trust and foundation grant funding bodies and from the private sector. Prior to opening, OnSide will work with the new Youth Zone to fundraise for the remaining building costs and the first three years running costs from a combination of private sector and philanthropic contributions.
