Solent Youth Action provide supported youth activities at the Hilt, based in the Loft. This is a relaxed club for local teenagers to meet with their friends in a safe environment where they are free to come and go whilst making use of some great facilities and the expertise of the Solent Youth Action youth workers. Teenagers can make coffee and drinks in the kitchen and play pool, table tennis, video games and listen to music knowing that they have a base with friendly support when they need to talk about life’s ups and downs away from home.

The Youth Club operates weekly and also tackles some of the more sensitive issues with a programme of educational discussions, help and advice.

Mark Ford is the senior youth worker and he would be delighted to welcome you and your friends to the Hilt. Why not pop in for a coffee, a chat and a look round.
