Youth Project Coordinator, Andy Joyes said: “Now more than ever, young people in Hailsham need help, advice and support to manage with feelings of isolation associated with current social restrictions and concerns about their future.” |
“While the Square Youth Cafe, Monday Youth Club, Friday Night Project and our advisory services remain closed because of restrictions, Hailsham Youth Service has adapted to ensure that it continues to help young people and the community and ensure they’re safe, following government guidance on social distancing and getting the appropriate support during the Coronavirus pandemic.” |
Currently, Hailsham Youth Service’s staff engage in detached work on Monday, Wednesday and Friday evenings, with two teams operating at any one time. Staff wear clearly visible youth service branded clothes so they can be found easily and the Service ensures that all detached work is carried out in accordance with social distancing guidelines. |
Deputy Youth Project Coordinator, Helen Deane commented: “It’s been a pleasure to catch up with young people and hear about what they’ve been up to and what they are currently doing. This is a difficult time – more so for some – and I’m pleased with the way young people in Hailsham are dealing with the current situation and sticking to the lockdown rules.” |
“During the pandemic and while our centres are closed, we’re making improvements to some of our facilities including those at our flagship centre – the Square Youth Cafe – in preparation for its eventual reopening.” |
