Local youngsters breathe life back into Hornsey Road Baths
A group of young advisors aged between 16 and 24-years-old have been recruited to shape the future of the old laundry at the Hornsey Road, which is to become a flagship youth centre in the north London area.
The new £3.5m youth centre will represent the views of young people in Islington.
The site is being refurbished, after Islington Council was awarded funding by the government in March. The 14 young advisors employed by Islington Council will represent young people’s views on various aspects of the centre’s development, such as how it should look and what services it will offer.
In the next few weeks, the group will be interviewing and commissioning the architects and will then work closely with them, making decisions on the design of the building.
They will also be finding out about the views of other young people, parents and residents in the area through creative events and activities such as focus groups and workshops.
The group of advisors come from a variety of backgrounds and all bring different skills to the job. Some have been involved in drama and peer mentoring at the National Youth Theatre, or running local community events through the Finsbury Park Youth Forum.
