We can't wait to get into the new building. And neither can the young people we work with!

We have recently purchased a building site in Carnegie Street overlooking Tesco's car park and we plan to have our new building up by early 2010. This new site will create a space that all sectors of the community can share to work towards a more inclusive society.

We are currently trying to pull the funding together to make this new build possible, this building would allow us to cater for a much larger youth base, effectively tripling the amount of room we have for various activities.

What's inside?

The new centre will have state of the art facilities allowing us to do a lot more with our space, here are a few things the new building will allow us to do:

Just helping  Run a cafe / coffee shop Have sleeping quarters for international visitors Have chill-out rooms An activity area 4x bigger than present

Sun lounge area New workshops Put on shows Provide a 24hr facility Hold displays from different programs on site
