Youth Services & HAF Provision
HAF Holiday Clubs
Youth Voice New Milton, in collaboration with South Coast Sports Academy, is proud to deliver a successful Holiday Activites and Food (HAF) provision right here in the heart of the community. Running from 9:00am – 3:00pm, our action-packed days include a hot lunch and a full schedule of engaging activities designed to inspire, energise and connect young people.
Join us for an exciting multi-activity holiday camp, where every day brings something new! From sports and team challenges to arts and crafts, drugs and alcohol awareness workshops and podcast making sessions, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Our experienced and enthusiastic team ensures a safe and supportive environment where children can build confidence, make friends and discover new skills. We have youth workers and sports coaches at our sessions to ensure a well-rounded approach to personal, social and physical development.
If your child qualifies for benefits-related Free School Meals, they are eligible to attend our HAF camps free of charge — providing the perfect mix of fun, friendship and enrichment during the holidays.

We know that life isn’t always easy. School pressure, friendships, family stuff, social media, and expectations can all pile up, and sometimes it can feel overwhelming. You might not always know how you’re feeling, or who you can talk to about it- and that’s okay.
At our wellbeing youth group at Ashley Hub, we offer a safe, relaxed space where you can just be yourself. You can come along, spend time with others, or talk one-to-one with our friendly staff if something’s on your mind. There’s no judgement, no pressure, and no expectation to share more than you’re comfortable with.
Alongside the group sessions, we run workshops that explore a range of topics that really matter to young people. These include things like managing stress and anxiety, building confidence, handling friendships and relationships, understanding emotions, and learning healthy ways to cope when things feel tough.
Our goal is to help you develop practical, long-term tools that support your wellbeing- not just now, but for the future too. We want you to feel heard, supported, and empowered, and to build the confidence to speak up for yourself, make positive choices, and ask for help when you need it.
You don’t have to go through things alone. We’re here to listen, support you, and help you find your way forward.
