Eastleigh Youth and Community Trust is an independent charity, based at the Pavilion on the Park in Eastleigh. We exist to promote active and flourishing lives by creating a variety of energising and enriching experiences which connect people and build community. We do this by managing a purpose-built inclusive community building, available for public hire; engaging people in social, recreational, and cultural activities which promote personal development, wellbeing and connection; working with other local organisations towards a shared common purpose of developing a thriving community and improving lives in Eastleigh; adopting a ‘whole-systems approach’ to place-making in Eastleigh; creating a positive and inclusive environment at our centre, where everyone is celebrated for their individuality and supported to participate in activities on their own terms in ways that suit them. People come together regularly at the Pavilion on the Park for many different reasons. On average, around 500 people a week benefit from the numerous, varied activities and events that take place. These include participants in both Trust-led and hirer-led activities, private bookings, and customers of our café. We are delighted to have recently secured funding from the National Lottery Reaching Communities Fund to deliver a five-year community project. This will enable us to develop new activities and opportunities which are led by the communities we serve.
