Friday saw the official launch of the new “On The Tracks” youth engagement initiative (Funded by GTR), with partners coming together to support young people across Brighton during a particularly busy and very warm day ☀️
With increasingly large groups of young people congregating along the seafront and travelling into the city via the rail network, “On The Tracks” has been developed to provide early support, positive engagement and visible outreach where young people are gathering.
The project focuses on engagement within the railway network and station environments, before extending out into central areas of the city to help ensure that young people who do make their way to the seafront are able to enjoy the space positively and safely.
Our partners Brighton and Hove Police worked tirelessly during this first project launch to engage with young people, tone set and support our seafront business community.
The youth engagement element is being delivered by the fantastic team from The Trust for Developing Communities (TDC), an organisation with a strong track record of working alongside young people and communities across Brighton & Hove. TDC specialise in building trusted relationships, supporting inclusion, and creating opportunities for young people to feel heard, supported and connected within their communities.
It was fantastic to see so many young people engaging with the team during the first session, with plenty of positive conversations throughout the day.
A great start to an important partnership project aimed at keeping young people safe, supported and connected.
