Our story began back in 2012 when Wolverhampton City Council in partnership with local businesses teamed up with Onside to provide the young people of Wolverhampton access to a Youth Zone, and the benefits it can bring for the whole community. Championed by successful entrepreneur, Steve Morgan CBE, The Queen’s Trust and St James’s Place Foundation, this once-in-a-lifetime project is now a reality for the city’s young people since January 2016.
Ever since then we’ve been offering young people aged 8-19 (up to 25 with a disability) over 20 activities every night, including sport, fitness, dance, arts, music, media, enterprise, wellbeing and self-improvement. Everything is state of the art, from our music room, a 3G pitch, enterprise media suite, climbing wall, multi-use four court sports hall, café, dance studio and gym.
