Case Study: Sylvia Beaufoy Youth Centre

Report - 12 October 2020

This is an independent case study showing an example of Sylvia Beaufoy Youth Centre’s story of adapting during the COVID crisis and what the future holds.

By working with our colleagues in the Voluntary and Community sector, we have a series of reports on our website that capture the experiences and issues from the point of view of services and groups that support local people in the community.

Sylvia Beaufoy Youth Centre, the Petworth Youth Association (PYA) has provided a unique service to the young people of Petworth and the surrounding villages in rural West Sussex for the last 50 years.

Through the Sylvia Beaufoy Centre they offer a safe meeting place and a base for youth work in the area. They aim to give opportunities to all young people – regardless of their economic background – to gain informal learning qualifications and skills for living.
