New look Mobile Community Hub hits the streets

Horsham District Council has worked in partnership with Collyer’s (the Horsham based sixth form college) and local vehicle graphics company PVL UK to create a new look for its Mobile Community Hub, formerly known as the Snack Wagon.

For a number of years the Mobile Community Hub, has been a key component within the Horsham town area providing a range of detached youth work in a variety of settings for young people aged 13 to 18 years.

With the easing of Covid19 restrictions, the newly liveried vehicle will provide a safe environment for young people to gather with their friends, grab a free bite to eat or drink and chat with our youth workers from 4The Youth who can provide advice and resources on lots of issues, particularly those generated by the pandemic.

It is hoped that the vehicle will also get the opportunity to travel wider across the District over the coming year.

The new look design for the vehicle was created by Collyer’s art student Fuzzy Isaacs who won a design competition alongside fellow students at the college.

Youth Worker Paula Lintott from 4TheYouth commented:

I am looking forward to getting back on the road in the Mobile Community Hub and supporting our young people at this time.

Our conversations often turn to their school situation and how they are finding it. Also young people's relationships with friends and other people in their lives are popular topics.

We are often a sounding board for their frustrations.
