Friday Night Project: Summer activities for Hailsham's young people

A variety of activities for young people have been planned for the Friday Night Project (FNP) for the remainder of June and throughout July including ten-pin bowling at FreedomBowl, and activities at Knockhatch Adventure Park, as well as swimming at Freedom Leisure Centre and a Youth Night at the James West Community Centre.

The Friday Night Project, which is funded and managed by the Town Council's youth project division - Hailsham Youth Service - works in partnership with Hailsham Community College, Freedom Leisure and Knockhatch to help create alternative recreational activities for young people on Friday evenings, will also continue to be a feature in young people’s social events calendar for the remainder of the year.

"The Friday Night Project gives young people an opportunity to experience challenges of different recreational activities and provide them with opportunities to socialise and boost self-esteem and well-being. I'm confident it will continue to be successful well into the future," said Andy Joyes, Youth Service Manager at Hailsham Town Council.

"FNP is a classic example of partnership in the community, and I’d like to thank my colleagues at Hailsham Youth Service, Knockhatch, Freedom Leisure and Hailsham Community College for all the support with these events."

Mr Joyes added: "Young people always look forward to various outings which make up part of Hailsham Youth Service's provision and are always keen to take advantage of the many opportunities being offered by our youth worker team. Furthermore, it's a great achievement that the Town Council, Hailsham Youth Service and project partners have come together to give young people another opportunity to engage in really exciting recreational activities over the years."
