Saffron Walden Youth Outreach Project

The Saffron Walden Youth Outreach Project (YOP) is a registered charity, set up by Mike Hibbs in his Mayoral year of 1994.

The project works in partnership with Saffron Walden Town Council (SWTC), Uttlesford District Council and Essex County Council, and gratefully acknowledges grant aid from all three Authorities.  The Charity runs a Youth Club at the Resource Centre in Fairycroft Road, on Wednesday and Friday nights, and carries out Outreach work on an ad hoc basis, responding to local needs.  It employs trained youth workers to administer the Youth Club, assisted by several volunteers; all are expected to have current DBS certificates.  The Club offers a safe place for young people, with a range of facilities available, and a constantly changing programme of events.

For any Youth & Community group inquiries on using this centre, please contact Charlotte Lewington at Charlotte.Lewington@essex.gov.uk. Mobile: 07584 000850
