What Global Social Club Has Meant

Global Social Club was established in 2017 in response to the needs of young people seeking sanctuary and rebuilding their lives in Sussex. What began as a small, responsive initiative has grown into an award-winning youth service, proudly recognised as the UK’s first Youth Club of Sanctuary. At its heart, Global Social Club is a space of welcome, joy, belonging and of solidarity and collective care.

Here, young people come together to have fun, celebrate diversity, build lasting friendships, and share culture and creativity. Each session offers something different, from creative activities to group discussions, games, and shared experiences, all shaped by the interests and voices of the young people themselves.

A central part of the club is coming together to share food. These moments create space for connection, comfort, and cultural exchange, grounding each session in a sense of care and community.

Global Social Club is also a space for growth. Young people are supported to step into leadership roles, build confidence, and challenge themselves beyond their comfort zones. In doing so, they not only develop new skills, but also begin to recognise their own strengths and potential.

More than just a youth club, Global Social Club nurtures solidarity across different backgrounds and lived experiences. It is a place where young people feel safe, valued, and supported, not only as individuals, but as part of a collective community.
