One Church Brighton
One Youth
One Youth provides safe, youth-led spaces for 80+ young people aged 11 - 22 years each year across Brighton & Hove, including faith based youth activities (including contemplative sessions and spaces to explore ancient stories of faith), open access youth club sessions, a peer support group for vulnerable LGBTQ+ young people (Misfits) and a weekly after school club and meal for young people from low income families (Safehouse), as well as 1-2-1 informal mentoring and practical support for young people facing personal and financial hardship. One Youth is part of the wider family of projects and communities that make up One Church Brighton.
A part of the wider family of projects and communities that make up One Church Brighton, One Youth's main aims are to support young people at risk of social or economic isolation to become part of supportive community, to experience improved mental health and wellbeing, and to feel better able to make changes in their own lives as well as in their communities.
Our groups are heavily arts and story led. Whether through writing, craft, photography, zine making, collage, music and engaging with nature, we believe art-making helps people tap into the transformative resources already present within themselves, supporting them to articulate and own their stories, engage and challenge the stories at play in the world around them, and develop new ideas for their futures.
