The new Waimea Youth Hub is a reality.
The idea of a youth space has been on the cards for years. There hasn’t been an ideal place to create it, but now with the cooperation of the Richmond Aquatic Centre’s operators at CLM, it’s open each week for a trial period.
The Waimea Youth Council has been advocating for a designated youth space in Richmond and is excited to announce that the new Youth Hub is now open on Fridays after school.
The Youth Council’s vision is to simply have a place to hang out with others of their own age in a place where they are comfortable and safe.
Young people are invited to call in and hang out with friends, play games, study if they need to, and enjoy discounted gym and pool entry and maybe even some vouchers for free fries!
Waimea Youth Council Chair Bonnie says the Youth Hub is a relaxed, safe space just for high school students with support from Tasman District Council and Aquatic Centre staff.
She says it’s open every Friday from 3.10 pm – 6.00 pm, excluding school holidays, at the Richmond Aquatic Centre.
“We hope to see you there!”
