🎤 Guest Speaker

We’ll hear from Phill Worthington, who will be sharing insights into the Wakefield Youth Zone: A World Class Facility Dedicated for Wakefield District’s Children and Young People.

Hear from Phill Worthington, OnSide’s Project Development Manager, about a brand-new, purpose-built youth club being developed in partnership with Wakefield Council. The Youth Zone will provide a cutting-edge space for thousands of 8-19 year olds (or up to 25 for those with additional needs) and is due to open in 2029. OnSide have so far opened 18 Youth Zones elsewhere in the country, all of which run by independent charities rooted in their community. Learn about the opportunities this will bring to Wakefield District and to your organisations.
