The Unity Centre

The Unity Centre is a volunteer run youth-club in the heart of Toxteth. The centre operates from premises in the heart of the community.

The building incorporates a community gym, open to members of the public, a suitably decorated ‘girl’s room’, a computer suite, sports hall, and social area complete with couches.

The Unity runs a number of sports teams; volunteers also work as mentors at local schools supporting young people to be open about the issues affecting their lives.

The centre is open to all young people in the area; it is well-known and greatly respected for the support it offers young people vulnerable to criminalisation and gang culture.

However, the Centre relies on Lottery funding, and struggles to keep going. The dilapidated building is in urgent need of repair.

The Good Society project arranged for a group of young  journalists from Kingsley to visit the Centre – click on the news pages to read what they found out.
