The Targeted Youth Support Service (TYS) detached youth workers work in your community all year round. They can help you with anything from activities to information and applying for funding.

The detached youth workers will get to know you wherever you happen to be, whether it’s in the park, at a youth club or even out in the street.

Working with young people in East Sussex the detached youth workers have:

• hosted the largest skate competition in the UK – The Battle of Hastings
• built the only skate park in UK with cradle
• taken 16 young people to Germany for eight days
• won lots of awards.

What can I get involved in?

Get involved with any of the projects going on in your area or just get in touch to suggest something new. At the moment the detached teams are:

• working with underage drinkers in Hastings on Saturday nights
• applying for funding for phase two of the new skate park in Hastings
• promoting respect and challenging bullying in Bexhill
• helping young people in Sidley apply for YouthBank funding
• helping young people in Rye with sexual health advice and information about drugs and alcohol.
