Framlingham Town Centre Youth Engagement Project seeks to connect to the young people of this vibrant East Suffolk town: to understand what they want from their town centre; how they can engage with it more, and how activities can be created within the town that will resonate with a younger part of the community.

Growing out of the successful MarketPlace project, the East Suffolk Council funded project’s initial phase in Autumn 2022 saw consultations with local groups as we co-created an engagement strategy that supports engagement with town centre projects, initiatives and organisations.

The second phase in Spring 2023 will set a core group of young people the challenge to plan, organise and deliver a town centre event that engages the target audience.

The last phase of the project will offer one-to-one mentoring for a group of people looking at trialling various business ideas, including town centre market stalls.
