Newtown Youth Café opens new premises with lottery funding

Summarised from County Times's report · Updated 5 Nov, 13:48 · Archive

Newtown Youth Café has relocated to The Cabin with support from a £20,000 National Lottery grant.

Newtown Youth Café has relocated to The Cabin inside the Newtown Integrated Family Centre following major refurbishment work funded by a £20,000 National Lottery Community Fund grant. The funding supported a full redecoration and creation of a dedicated food and drinks area, complete with a professional coffee machine.

The café offers young people aged 11-17 a safe and affordable space to socialise, take part in activities, and access support and information. It began as a pilot project at Hafan yr Afon, developed with input from the Powys Junior Start Well Board and shaped through consultation with young people who highlighted the lack of inclusive spaces in the area. Councillor Sandra Davies, cabinet member for future generations at Powys County Council, said the new venue would help ensure young people continue to have access to 'opportunities, support and activities that help them thrive'.
