(UK, 1037310) Browse eventsSituated in the centre of Hastings, East Sussex, Xtrax was formed as a charity in 1994 in response to a growing need for an independent and confidential service aimed at disaffected young people who were not connecting with the existing education, health and social provision. Xtrax operates as a ‘drop-in’ Centre where disadvantaged or at risk young people can access a range of confidential services, have a nutritious meal, take a shower, or just relax. Xtrax is non-judgemental and, unlike many organisations, it is open during afternoons, evening, weekends and Bank Holidays when young people can be most vulnerable. The drop-in centre provides an accessible and safe place for young people to get advice and support on issues that are impacting on their lives, and we regularly have young people attending who are homeless or in temporary accommodation, and some of the main issues presented include teenage pregnancy, mental health concerns, self harm, housing issues, alcohol, substance misuse, poverty, budgeting, relationship/personal issues and work/education concerns. Xtrax is widely known among the young population and addresses the fact that young people may not know where to go for help and can be extremely wary of statutory service providers. Xtrax works daily with young people at risk of educational and employment exclusion. The young people who access our centre have had few or no positive leaning experiences and as a result have few or no qualifications and therefore have few or no employment opportunities. Over 50% are care leavers and currently 60% are NEETS. The educational system has been a difficult place for them and to have the opportunity to study and learn and gain new confidence in their learning abilities, and educational resilience, within a warm, safe and trusted environment such as Xtrax can only be beneficial.
