Based in the heart of our community, we provide a consistent, welcoming presence for young people. Electric Storm Youth (ESY) is a youth work charity operating in Lancing and Sompting, West Sussex. We work with young people aged 11-19 and we offer the following range of services. Saturday Sessions: These are run during term time on a Saturday evening between 7-9pm. At these sessions we offer hot f
ood, games, movies, activities and a place to just relax with friends. If you wish to attend these sessions, please email [email protected] to register with us and for full details of the session. Bolt Hole Drop-In: This is a drop in session run after school on a Friday during term time. It is based at the Sompting Big Local hub from 3-4.30pm and we provide snacks and drinks, a place to hang out with friends and a chance to chat to our youth work staff. Young Carers Support: We work in partnership with the local secondary school to offer support sessions to young carers, this can be through 1-2-1 sessions with our youth workers and also group holiday activities. Detached work: We run four detached sessions a week around Lancing, Sompting and Shoreham. We have a mobile provision van allowing us to travel around the local area and also be a focal point for any young people out and about who need us or even just want to come and have a chat. This work also allows us to meet with young people who don't normally engage in mainstream activities and get to know them them on their own turf. Mental and Emotional Health Support: We offer various forms of mental and emotional support including 1-2-1 counselling sessions, group support and online workshops. Youth Forum: All of our services and activities are planned in partnership with our youth forum, this group of young people help us to make sure we are meeting the needs of local young people and that our work is relevant to them.
