Space for young people in
Bognor Regis

Sheri Birch

Youth Worker in Charge

I have been a Youth worker for 4 ½ years, I have completed my Level 3 youth work diploma.
I have a passion for the welfare of young people, and am keen to be able to help them. I believe every young person has the right to a safe space, and someone to guide them.

My aim is to ensure that every young person that attends 39 Youth Club, has the opportunity to eat something hot, whether this is a full meal or just toast.

Zina Harding

Youth Support Worker

I am a Bognor Regis resident, mum of one and former member of 39 Youth Club myself, I wasn’t aware the club still ran but heard through another organisation it was. I initially got involved as a parent volunteer and committee member. I also have experience planning and running sessions.

I’m knowledgeable and passionate about the work I do, I’m adaptable and really enjoy the fast paced and ever-changing sessions that come when working with Young People.

Brian Ansell

Trustee

I started helping others to learn as a cub and a scout and helped run a youth club in my late teens.

I was a teacher for 37 years during which time I chaired multiple youth organisations including scouts and a swimming club. I was asked to be a trustee at the 39 Club over 30 years ago.

Since access to the building changed in 2010 it had used since the 1960s I dreamt of getting it back to have a thriving youth centre again and now we have a future full of opportunities for young people.

Chris Cook

Trustee

I have been volunteering and working at youth clubs for over 40 years. In 2019 I became the CEO for Sussex Clubs for Young People and together we developed a team of youth workers providing over 50 youth clubs per week.

I am thrilled that we have managed to take on the lease for the building in 2023 and that 39 Youth Club can thrive with the support of its community.
