Janine GriffithsChildren and young people from the Inner East are being invited to share their ideas for the new Fearnville Wellbeing Centre at a special consultation session later this month.
The event will take place at Fearnville Leisure Centre on Thursday 26 March from 6pm to 7.30pm. Organisers say they want to hear directly from young people about what the centre should offer and what would make the space truly useful for local families.
The session will start with games and activities before moving into a conversation about the plans, including proposals for an Adventure Play area and a new Community Room. Young people will be able to share what they’d like to see, what would make the facilities better and what matters most to them.
Organisers say the feedback gathered will play an active role in shaping the project’s next steps.
Transport support may be available for groups, and free food and drinks will be provided for everyone who attends.

Divisive content, AI noise and online rumours spread faster than ever. At the same time, many mainstream outlets are stretched and rarely spotlight the community organisations and local champions who deserve recognition.
