Youth Hub Secures Second Year of Funding to Continue Supporting Young People in Hyndburn

April 8, 2026

Community Solutions North West, in partnership with the Department for Work and Pensions, is delighted to announce that the Accrington Youth Hub, based at Elmfield Hall, has secured funding for a second year, ensuring continued support for young people aged 18–24 across Hyndburn.

Since its launch, the Youth Hub has provided vital employment, training, and wellbeing support to local young people, helping them build confidence, develop new skills, and take meaningful steps towards their future careers. The continuation of the programme reflects its strong impact and the ongoing need for tailored youth services within the community.

The Youth Hub will continue to act as a central, welcoming space where young people can access personalised guidance, connect with local employers, and benefit from a wide range of opportunities designed to break down barriers to employment.

Maggie Moody, CEO of CSNW, said “We are absolutely thrilled that the Youth Hub will continue for a second year. Over the past year, we’ve seen first-hand the difference this support makes to young people’s lives, helping them to grow in confidence, gain new skills, and move closer to employment or education. This continued funding allows us to build on that success and reach even more young people who need our support.”

The Youth Hub will maintain its strong partnerships with local employers, training providers, and community organisations, ensuring a holistic approach that supports not just employability, but overall wellbeing and personal development.

Young people can continue to access the Hub through referrals from Jobcentre Plus, with services including one-to-one support, skills workshops, careers advice, and wellbeing provision, all delivered in a supportive and inclusive environment.

This second year marks an exciting opportunity to expand the reach and impact of the Accrington Youth Hub, continuing to empower the next generation and strengthen the local workforce.
