About the venue

Redbridge Council is proposing to deliver an education and youth hub at Wanstead Youth Centre, securing its future for use by generations of children, young people, and local community groups.

In September 2023 Redbridge Council published a report recommending a way forward for the centre, which includes the delivery of education services, a tuition centre, and an Early Years Play and Development centre alongside adding youth services.

The proposals include renovating the building and co-locating education and youth services to create an education and youth hub serving the west of Redbridge. Additional funding would be secured through the council’s ringfenced Education Service to deliver the scheme.

The building on Elmcroft Avenue was temporarily closed to outside hirers in October 2023, so surveying works could begin. This work is ongoing.

Vision RCL worked with businesses and groups previously hiring space at the centre to help them relocate to alternative venues. Kids In Charge, a childcare service which was based at the centre, has now moved to Nightingale Primary School.
