Curtain Falls on City Theatre and Opens on Multi-Million Youth Hub

Young people in Leicester are looking forward to having a place to call their own after scooping a £5 million grant. 

Leicester City Youth Hub will consist of six themed zones, each offering different activities and spaces where young people can meet. Activities on offer are anticipated to include a climbing wall, skateboard and BMX track, sports area, performing arts space, recording studio, dance and aerobics rooms and a library and research centre.

The project, led by Leicester City Council, aims to bring young people aged 13-19 together from diverse backgrounds, including those facing challenges such as lack of confidence and self-esteem, social isolation and discrimination.

Leicester City Youth Hub will also offer counselling for vulnerable youngsters. Connexions, Teenage Pregnancy Services and the Children’s Information Service will provide support and advice on a range of issues such as sexual health.


Total Award: £5,000,000
Lead Organisation: Leicester City Council
