The Box Youth Project is a voluntary sector youth project with charitable status.

The project recently secured premises in the Hall Farm area and the project covers the Doxford and St. Chads wards.

The project was set up in 2001 to provide a fully staffed and resourced youth project that includes daytime youth education opportunities (school inclusion and post 16s) , unemployment project, young mums programme, arts and sport, ICT, health based social education projects, detached youth work, young peoples volunteering opportunities, single gender work, summer and school holiday schemes and residential activity opportunities for all young people aged 13–19 years who reside in the area.

Our new premises have recently been fully renovated and refurbished and local young people were involved in the planning, design and decoration of the centre.

The project is due to open full time (7 days per week) during summer 2006.
