The Sid Youth Drop-in Project
An after-school oasis for young people to study, find support and have fun
The aim of this Worthing-based project was to provide a safe, relaxing and supportive after-school space where 11- to 18-year-olds, whatever their needs and challenges, could drop in, study, get help with their CV and college applications, enjoy free nutritious food, try out new activities, chill out and have fun. The sessions were held at the Sidney Walter Centre and run by its youth staff. For the past two years, The Sid Youth has been helping local young people to overcome their challenges and ‘know their worth’ through a range of positive and practical community-based initiatives held during term time and the school holidays.
