The Youth Centre then moved to its current location in a purpose designed building situated on Eling Recreation Ground. The current building has specific spaces for young people e.g. general area, music booth, Craft room, ball pit, physical activity area and tuck shop etc. The Centre was open at differing times each season but generally from 3pm to 7pm Tuesday to Friday (term-time). The Centre was staffed by a manager together with senior and assistant youth workers. ## CPV classification Welfare services for children and young people Source Find a Tender (UK) · Notice ocds-h6vhtk-0688bb-2026-07-10T15:01:39+01:00 [View official notice](https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/ocds-h6vhtk-0688bb-2026-07-10T15:01:39+01:00) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
