West Wight Needs You! Young People Invited to Shape the Future of Their Community

October 2, 2026

West Wight Needs You youth engagement banner promoting free pizza, activities and opportunities for young people aged 11-25.

 

Do you have ideas about what would make West Wight a better place for young people?

The Isle of Wight Youth Trust is inviting young people aged 11-25 to come together for a fun and informal session where they can share their ideas about activities, events, facilities and opportunities they would like to see in West Wight.

Whether you're interested in sports, music, arts, gaming, outdoor activities, social spaces, community events, or something completely different, this is your chance to help influence what happens next in the area.

What's Happening?

This is not a formal meeting or presentation. It's a chance to:

  • Meet other local young people
  • Share ideas and suggestions
  • Enjoy free pizza
  • Play pool, table tennis and air hockey
  • Help shape future opportunities in West Wight

We want to hear what young people think is missing, what is working well already, and what could make West Wight an even better place to live, play and spend time.

Event Details

Date: Monday 26 October 2026
Time: 1.30pm – 4.00pm
Venue: West Wight Sports & Community Centre, Moa Place, Freshwater
Age Range: 11-25 years

Your Ideas Matter

This event is being delivered by the Isle of Wight Youth Trust, working alongside local partners, to gather the views and ideas of young people from across West Wight.

No idea is too big or too small. Whether you'd like to see more sports activities, events, places to meet friends, creative opportunities, trips or something entirely new, we want to hear from you.

Help Us Spread the Word

Young people don't always see community announcements, so we're asking parents, carers, grandparents, schools, clubs, youth groups and local organisations to help us reach as many young people as possible.

Please share this event with any young people aged 11-25 who might like to get involved.

Together, we can help ensure that future activities and opportunities in West Wight reflect what local young people actually want and need.

West Wight needs you. Come along, have your say, and help shape what happens next. 🍕🎱🏓🛹
