Millwall Community Trust are delighted to be partnering Youth First and Lewisham Council to redevelop Riverside Youth Club.
Renovation work is due to begin, and it will see a brand-new state of the art 3G football pitch and games area, gym, indoor sports, kitchen, and flexible learning spaces for young people and the community.
Sean Daly, Millwall Community Trust’s CEO said: “The project has been a long process to get to this point but continuing support from partners Lewisham Council, Youth First and the Football foundation, renovation work will start this summer and the local community will see the creation of a state-of-the-art 3G football pitch and games area, gym, indoor sports, kitchen, and flexible learning spaces for young people and the community.
“Millwall Community Trust’s programmes look to offer opportunities for the local community to develop and achieve, Riverside Youth centre will be that local hub for us and partners to base our programmes out of.
"The £1.2M project is being delivered by Lewisham Council in partnership with Youth First and Millwall Community Trust. This has been made possible by a generous £745,000 grant from the Premier League, The FA, and Government’s Football Foundation. This was supported by a further public campaign led by Youth First resulting in substantial donations from private donors and local trusts and foundations to secure the award.
"The revitalised Riverside Youth Club is expected to open its doors in spring 2024."
