THREE city youth centres are to be given new leases of life as part of an injection of cash into the city's offering for young people.
It comes after Plymouth City Council was successful in its bid for a share of the £560million Youth Investment Fund.
The focus for Plymouth will be the £2.4 million for the expansion and refurbishment of Fredrick Street Centre in Stonehouse, Efford Youth and Community Centre and Honicknowle Youth and Community Centre.
In Stonehouse, one-on-one youth justice and targeted support work with young people will be expanded. There will be dedicated resources for young people who have experienced care, including support, resources, IT facilities, life skills, and fitness equipment along with a new education suite.
Efford Youth and Community Centre will get a brand new Multi Use Games Area to increase sporting activities, while supervised access to basketball and boxing will be expanded.
At Honicknowle Youth and Community Centre, current successful SEND provision and groups will be improved alongside a new digital engagement project.
Both buildings will also undergo complete refurbishment, increasing their size and ensuring that they are fit to serve generations of young people in the city in the future.
