The Sun Fund Youth Hub: A Space for Opportunity
Members of The Sun Fund came together to explore a new space full of potential for young people and share ideas on how to turn it into an exciting hub for learning and opportunity.

Based in Banbury town centre, the vision for the Youth Hub is to create a safe and welcoming space where young people can develop new skills, build confidence and make connections that support their future. The project, led by Lee Davis at Distraction Youth is backed by a collaboration of community workers that work with young people.
Putting Young People at the Forefront
But the ideas for the youth hub aren't about us, they're about the young people who will use it. That's why young people were invited to share their thoughts, talk about what matters to them and help shape what the space could become.
By listening to their ideas and involving them in the process, we hope to create a hub that reflects their interests, needs and ambitions, giving them a space they can feel part of.
We're excited to see these ideas develop and look forward to bringing the vision for The Sun Fund Youth Hub to life.
What is The Sun Fund?

We want to give a big shout out the the young people who came along and shared their ideas and we are so excited for what is to come!
