Government Funds to give Torbay Teens a place to call their ownYoung people in Torbay are celebrating today following news that the government is ploughing more than £4.8 million into world-class sports and activities in the area. Local young people have been heavily involved in the development of the new venue, which will feature a range of facilities including an indoor and outdoor skate and BMX park, a multi-use games area, arts performance space, and a recording studio. There will also be a large horizontal climbing wall linking the two buildings and a BMX dirt track, which will run through the site’s adjoining woodlands. The money is a result of a successful bid by to the myplace programme by Torbay Council, which will manage the project in partnership with a range of local organisations. Ali Matthews, Executive Head of Early Intervention at Torbay Council, said: “This is an outstanding opportunity for Torbay young people. At last we will have a centre that will deliver a fantastic range of activities and make use of the natural assets that we have in Torbay, such as beach and water sports. Young people have been in the driving seat of this project and will continue to be so as we turn it into reality over the next two years.” As well as performing arts, music, dance and skating, the new facility will offer a range of high quality outdoor sports including kite surfing, sailing and windsurfing, making use of the site’s surrounding nine acres of natural landscape. Other activities on offer will include training and apprenticeships in areas such as catering, outdoor education and sports, which will be delivered by existing local providers including local colleges. Young people will also be able to access a range of advice and support services, from careers advice to sexual health clinics. The centre will be open at times requested by young people including evenings and weekends. There will also be two smaller venues in Brixham and Ellacombe to provide a local offering to young people in these areas. Total Award: £4,875,000
