Minister for Young People visits site of new youth centre in Bristol
Ahead of its £5 million renovation, Minister for Young People, Tim Loughton, visited the Station Youth Project in Bristol.
Earlier this week, Minister for Young People Tim Loughton visited the Station in Bristol City Centre which recently received confirmation of £5m funding from the Department. This is a myplace project to convert the old fire station into a world class facility for young people in the South West.
The Station will include music and radio studios, a theatre and dance studio, cafe and a range of support services.
Tim Loughton said:
I hope the Station will become a showcase for the young people of Bristol and give a positive message about the many creative things they are doing. It will also provide the chance to access a number of services in one place offering advice on qualifications, sexual health, setting up a business and more.
It is important that facilities like the Station are established with a sustainable future and I hope people from across Bristol and not just the young will come in and get involved.
