Frith Youth Centre is re-opening for the local community on Monday 28th June with a new staff team and a newly renovated space. As part of this, we're raising money for a healthy eating project. We want to raise money for cooking equipment, including a new gas grill and food products to help engage young people in the preparation of nutritious and healthy food. We've engaged members of the local community as volunteer chefs to help with the project, and need your help to realise our aims.
Our History
Frith Youth Centre was originally founded in 1961 as the Bussage Boy’s Club – A large wooden hut provided recreational space for young males, with changing facilities adjacent to the local football pitch.
By 1974 it’s popularity had grown and it was extended with the addition of a new stone building, with facilities to meet the needs of the wider community. With the rise in equality, girls were now allowed to participate in the youth clubs that were provided.
Also in the 70’s extensive housing development took place in the local area and the project now sits at the edge of a large urban expansion. The resulting population has since grown to almost 7,000 people with an estimated 2,000 children and young people.
In 2001 extensive refurbishment works were carried out, with new roof, football changing rooms and showers, disabled toilets and kitchen. The facilities were renamed as “Frith Youth Centre”.
