A safe space for young people on Limes Farm.
A welcoming, structured place to spend time after school and in the holidays — every week, right here on the estate.
Ages 8–14 · Spaces are limited
More than a youth club
The youth club blends a reliable, welcoming base with activities young people actually asked for — somewhere to relax, have fun, and talk to an adult they trust.
Gaming
Xbox and PS5 stations — a relaxed way in for young people who might not join anything else at first.
Music
Space to listen, create and share — building confidence and self-expression through sound.
Sports
Active games that build teamwork, focus and a positive outlet for energy — the thing local young people most wanted.
Creative workshops
Arts, crafts and themed sessions on wellbeing and staying safe, run alongside the fun.
Safe conversations
Trusted adults who notice, listen and step in early — quietly there whenever a young person needs to talk.
We grew up alongside these young people
We have run weekly youth provision on Limes Farm for over four years. In that time we have watched young people move from primary into secondary school — and now we welcome their younger brothers and sisters through the same doors.
- Four years delivering weekly, term-time and school holidays
- Supporting the same young people from primary into secondary
- Now supporting many of their younger siblings too
- A mentor working inside the estate's primary school
- Local church volunteers supporting the team every week
- Mentors who are known and trusted right across Limes Farm
A trusted place during the hours that matter
Local young people told the Essex Violence & Vulnerability Unit they wanted safe places to go, and more sport and youth clubs. The Unity Hub is our answer — a consistent, supervised space through the vulnerable hours between school finishing and parents getting home.
- Create a safe, positive community space young people choose to be in
- Build confidence, resilience and trusted relationships early
- Reduce risk and anti-social behaviour before it takes hold
“One trusted relationship can change the direction of a young person's life.”
The Unity Hub media van
Alongside the youth club, our media van is a separate mobile service that takes positive activities out across the estate. Fitted out for music, media and creative work, it meets young people where they already are — including those who would not yet step into a club.
- A mobile base for music, media and creative sessions
- Trained staff out in the community, closer to home
- Reaching young people who don't attend the club
- A relationship-led, detached approach that builds trust first
140+ young people reached on the estate through the van
The Unity Hub is one part of a bigger picture
Youth Unity supports young people aged 8 to 24 across mentoring, sport, creative media and outreach — working from early help through to targeted intervention, before challenges escalate. The Limes Farm Unity Hub is where that mission lives on the estate.
Life at the club
Cooking, crafts, gaming, dancing, dressing up and plenty of laughing — a few moments from our weekly sessions on Limes Farm.
Come and join us
Sessions run during term time and across the school holidays for young people aged 8 to 14. Places are limited, so please register in advance — it also means we have everything we need to keep your child safe.
A completed registration form is needed before a young person can take part — it gives our team your emergency contact, any medical or allergy information, and your consents, so we can look after your child safely. Spaces are limited and offered on a first-come basis.
Supported by our community
The Unity Hub on Limes Farm is made possible by local partners who believe in early, place-based support for young people.
Bring your young person along
Whether they want to game, play sport, make music, or just have somewhere safe to be — there's a place for them at the club. Spaces are limited, so register early to secure a place.
