Long-awaited youth hub on the way for vulnerable Cantabrians

From Nine To Noon, 9:11 am on 13 March 2018

Desperately needed medical, mental health and housing support is finally on the way for vulnerable youth in Canterbury in what will become a one-stop-shop service. Once built, it will bring together several specialist youth services, including Dr Sue Bagshaw's 298 Youth Health medical centre, an employment agency, and youth activities organisation The White Elephant Trust. The Youth Hub Trust will also build accommodation for 20 youth in transition to more permanent housing. Kathryn Ryan speaks with Dr Bagshaw about the startling youth homeless statistics that led to the project.
