Youth Unity, in partnership with Peabody, is thrilled to announce the continuation and expansion of our successful program for young people in Thamesmead! For the past number of months, we have been running this initiative every Wednesday on Titmus Avenue, offering engaging sports, music, and support services that promote physical activity, creativity, and well-being.
Thanks to the positive impact and success of the program, we have secured additional funding to keep the service going strong. With this new funding, we’re excited to announce that we’ll not only continue our weekly sessions but also expand our offerings to include additional activities during school holidays!
If you’re a young person in Thamesmead, join us every Wednesday for an exciting afternoon of sports, music, and support.

The Unity Hub is back at Ninefields from the 5th January and then each month thereafter.
The Unity Hub functions as a secure haven catering to the needs of young individuals and is conveniently situated on Ninefields Park.
Its central focus centres on involving young people in music, podcasting, and gaming, all aimed at fostering a robust sense of community among the youth. We also encourage sports, we found a game of football is always appreciated, there is also table tennis and other activities such as arts or a game of chess.
In close partnership with Epping Forest District Council, Community Safety Team, the Unity Hub takes on the form of a mobile bus, extending an invitation for young individuals to step aboard.
Our primary objective is to establish a secure and welcoming space within the community, providing an opportunity for the community to unite and gain a deeper understanding of the youth and their requirements. Often, young people find themselves without guidance or suitable destinations, and UNITY HUB is dedicated to offering prospects and directing them to other engaging activities.
Our goal is to provide valuable direction and advice by pointing towards various activities within the local vicinity. Additionally, we extend assistance and guidance on topics that hold significance for both young individuals and parents.
