Youth Provision
Here at The Chichester Community Development Trust, we believe it is essential to invest in the young people of Chichester. We provide our youth with opportunities for growth and development, offering programs that focus on social, emotional, and creative development.
We are always looking for organisations to work with us, delivering activities that support and inspire young people in our community. If you have an idea or project, please get in touch.

Discover Your Future Youth
During term time
Discover Your Future Youth is a collaborative program we operate in partnership with local secondary schools. This initiative provides essential support to young individuals who face challenges in their school journey for various reasons.
Through this program, students benefit from life coaching sessions and engaging fitness workshops, all designed to enhance their self-esteem, overall productivity, and well-being. We’ve observed that students participating in this program have experienced improved school engagement, making it easier for them to stay in school.
