Our goal at Haileybury Youth Centre is to deliver world class youth facilities for the young people of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets 

The centre will continues to be managed and staffed by the council’s Youth and Community Services.  The design of the Youth Centre has been drawn up in consultation with Youth and Community Services to ensure we make the best use of the space, in order to meet young people’s needs.

Our aim was to continue to build on the success of the existing Haileybury Youth Centre with it’s varied activities programmes such as Football, Pool, Music, Table Tennis, Cricket, Hockey, Archery, Cooking etc and to further establish itself within the immediate local community as a social venue, youth support centre and ‘After School Club’. Haileybury needs to be a centre that the local Stepney Community will support and enjoy.  Some of the key aspirations of the scheme are:

  • A place for young people to come and have fun
  • Lit, cheerful and open atmosphere
  • Clear legibility from first point of entry
  • Allow uses and spaces to flow into one another
  • Create a sense of safety and connectivity
