We’re an independent registered charity that has been supporting young people in Brighton for over 100 years. Most of what we offer is free or low cost; our funding comes from grants, room hire, events and generous donations.

Brighton Youth Centre
Brighton Youth Centre (BYC) is a space made for you; a welcoming place for all teens to try new activities, relax with friends, or start your own ideas.
- there’s something for every age, and you can join in anytime.
Our Work
Our work is shaped by the core values of youth work: informal learning, choosing to take part, building community and empowering young people.
You decide how involved you want to be, from joining activities to helping shape what happens here. We’re committed to providing a supportive, fun and flexible environment where you can be yourself and make things happen.
