UPDATE ON OUR PROJECT IN BARNSLEY FOR ONSIDE

Project News Update, We are thrilled to be building Barnsley Youth Zone for OnSide. Barnsley Youth Zone will be a safe and aspirational place for young people.

The first Youth Zone in Yorkshire, it will enhance the town by providing a destination for young people of the area. It will be a state-of-the-art space with over 20 activities to try each session, staffed by skilled youth workers who believe in young people and help them realise their aims and achievements.

Named ‘Base71’ by local young people, this exciting new building will be located on brownfield land on Schwäbisch Gmünd Way, close to the train station and bus interchange.

So I can hear you say what’s inside… well (deep breath)
