About the project

Demolition of the original 1950s building and construction of a new, fully accessible, 825m2, two-storey building to provide spaces for arts, music and games as well as additional areas for early years groups.

Heathfield Youth Hub, which is scheduled to complete in Spring 2025, will primarily cater to 11–18 year-olds whilst also providing vital services for 9–25 year-olds with additional needs.

This centre is one of two projects our Southern Home Counties team has been appointed to deliver by East Sussex County Council following funding from the government’s Youth Investment Fund.

You can find out more about our appointment to the project in this press release.
