REVAMPED Haslemere Youth Hub now sports a new studio floor and its cafe serves up breakfast treats.

Thanks to grants from Community Foundation for Surrey and Haslemere Town Council, the floor of Studio One has been sanded and re-lined .

More than 30 youth-oriented users signed up to operate from the Waverley Borough Council-owned building that relaunched last August following a big revamp.

The number of activities on offer is growing as more groups and organisations want to be part of the buzzing new facility next to Wey Hill car park, which has huge community support.

Volunteers pulled out all the stops in the run-up to the grand opening last year to bring the town’s youth-oriented Wey Centre, which had been badly neglected over the years, up to scratch.

Leading the drive to make the renamed Haslemere Youth Hub a hive of activity, are new managers Nadeana Simpson-Hadden and Karen Musco, who have run Street Nation Dance School there for ten years.

The hub is an independent charity that rents the building from Waverley for £21,000 a year.

Its running costs are about the same as the annual rent and vital funding is raised from the hire of its rooms, charitable donations and the generosity of the community.

The hub team has appealed to MP Jeremy Hunt for a commitment to youth services in Haslemere.

Its big wish is for better mental health services for children and young people locally.

The hub offers a free counselling service, but the team says it is “just not enough to meet the need”.
