The following survey is designed to obtain your views about your current use of Youth Centres in Surrey, and Surrey County Council’s proposed plans to change the way Universal Youth Work is delivered in Surrey.
Currently, Surrey County Council provides open access universal youth work that takes place in youth centres across the county. Open access youth work is often provided in youth centres and is open to all young people without referral or a specific need. Whilst there is no statutory duty for SCC to continue to provide open access universal youth work, SCC recognises that the youth centres themselves are a valued community asset and can play a larger role in achieving the Community Vision for 2030 that includes community participation as one of the priorities.
However, Surrey’s Youth Centres are often underutilised and are not fulfilling their potential for the benefit of young people. Surrey County Council is proposing to increase the availability of the existing youth centres for the use of the voluntary, community and faith sector.
We are therefore consulting on whether Surrey County Council should continue to deliver universal open access youth work and how it could enable the voluntary, community and faith sector to use the youth centres at little or no cost.
The full proposal is available here:
Youth Service Consultation - Strategy
The closing date for the consultation is midnight 30 April 2020
Please note the information you are being asked to provide is anonymous data. The responses you provide will be used for the purposes of this consultation and may be used to provide feedback on other consultations occurring at this time.
Public Engagement Events
In light of the HM Government announcement regarding school closures, youth centres in Surrey will also need to fully close until further notice. As a result of this, the remaining consultation engagement events have been cancelled and we will be looking at alternative ways to engage with the community about those centres in the coming weeks and months.
The cancelled engagement events are as follows:
| Date | Time | Venue |
|---|---|---|
| 20 March | 6.30- 8.30pm | WYAC (inc Lakers) Youth Centre - Trinity Rd, Knaphill, Woking, Surrey, GU21 2SY |
| 02 April | 5.30- 7.30pm | Discovery Youth Centre - 7 Ward St, Guildford GU1 4LH |
| 07 April | 5.30- 7.30pm | Ash Youth Centre - Ash Hill Rd, Ash, Aldershot GU12 5DN |
Further updates will be posted here as they become available.
The potential opportunities are unique to each youth centre, we are therefore holding engagement events during consultation to explore the opportunities in each centre. There is no need to book a place in one of the events in advance as they will be drop in events with opportunities to ask questions, share ideas and provide feedback. The dates for each event will be published in advance below with the events broadly being arranged as set out as follows:
