About the project

The project at the JOFF Youth Hub in Peacehaven consists of a modest extension and refurbishment of the existing Youth Hub across a two-storey building which is scheduled to be ready in Spring 2025. The upgrade of the site is being undertaken as the original building dates to the 1960s and is no longer suitable for the local area’s needs.

As the project progresses, the pre-existing building will undergo some internal reconfiguration with new floors and doors installed, as well as a new external lift added to bring the site’s accessibility features up to date.

This Hub 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 both of these projects in this press release.
