NEWS FROM POPLAR BATHS, HAILEYBURY YOUTH CENTRE & DAME COLET 2015

Updates: October 2015

Haileybury. Scaffolding down! Project complete

Haileybury

The scaffolding has come down at Haileybury and everything has completed on time in October 2015. The youth centre at Haileybury has been a focal point of the community in Stepney for many years, offering a range of sporting and non-sporting activities for young people. Now the design of the new youth centre is the result of a long process of dialogue with local users. Everyone wanted a bright, cheerful place where young people can visit, hang out and have fun in a safe and connected environment. Now it’s here.
