Phoenix Youth is a dedicated Youth Space, planned and designed with the help of local young people and was opened on the 19th October 2007. It consists of a Main Hall, a Cafe area, Training Kitchen and a Youth Workers Office. Our aim to work with local young people to provide a modern well equipped space.
This youth space is built to high environmental standards and is probably the greenest youth space in Kent.
