Base 71 Youth Zone

Each month we have a visiting speaker. This week (9th Oct 2025) was Holly Hodgson from the new Base 71 Youth Zone which will be opening in Barnsley next to the transport exchange very soon.


Holly spoke with enthusiasm and passion sharing their vision for the youth based project, the first of its type in Yorkshire. Its equipped to provide sporting, recreational and vocational opportunities for the towns young people.

We're looking forward to working closely with this innovative project.
