Millions of pounds have been earmarked to build a huge new youth club in South Bristol due to open in 2025. The new Youth Zone will offer a wide range of activities for young people such as football, boxing, climbing, music, drama, and training for jobs, all for a cheap price.
Bristol City Council’s cabinet has agreed to spend £7,275,000 to help build the Youth Zone, which will be located near the roundabout connecting Hengrove Way and Hartcliffe Way. Construction is due to begin in July and take just over a year to complete the new building.
The Youth Zone will be run by local award-winning charity Youth Moves, and developed by OnSide, a national charity that has built 14 similar youth centres across the country. The investment was welcomed by local councillors, who said the project was “excellent news”.
