Pit-Stop Youth Trust

We are an independent local charity that has been running for over 14 years supporting young people in Bexhill and the surrounding areas.

Pit-Stop is dedicated to transforming the lives of young people from all types of backgrounds. We particularly support young vulnerable people or those who have physical, mental or educational disadvantage. Pit-Stop advocates for all young people, regardless of life style, background or situation and our trustees, staff and volunteers work tirelessly and with passion to provide for them.

Our aim is not only to make a tangible difference to the lives of young people we support but to also help other youth organisations or new start ups in our community. Together we find this helps young people aspire to social change and engage with society in a much more positive way. By offering our youth based services, Pit-Stop encourages everyone to grow in confidence and achieve their own goals and ambitions in life, in a safe and friendly environment.
