Eastleigh Youth & Community Trust

Our core vision is to bridge the gap between generations and communities within Eastleigh. We provide a community centre for local people and business to hire, and from this facility we also deliver inclusive activities focused on children, young people, people with disabilities, older people, and families. Our charitable aims are to provide inclusive educational, social, recreational and leisure time activities for children, young people, the residents of Eastleigh and the Trust’s immediate neighbourhood by effectively managing a youth and community centre. The Pavilion on the Park is a youth and community building sited on the Borough’s accessible and developing urban country park. Our building is adjacent to what is known locally as the ‘Aviary’ or ‘Nightingale’ estate which is where some of our targeted work is aimed, although most of our project work extends to people living across Hampshire. The Pavilion on the Park is the Trust’s base, but it is the activities that emanate from this facility that deliver the Trust’s real core vision. The Trust aims to bridge the gap between generations and communities within the local area. We strive to involve the community in the development of the Trust’s work whilst delivering inclusive activities focused on children, young people and their families together with the wider local population. We are proud of our substantial provision for disabled people.
