Episode Details

EPIC Hub in Doncaster is booming—five years in, it’s become a vital safe space for over 2,000 young people last year alone, with 8,000 visits. With a 14% engagement surge, they’re expanding to a second location and adding thrilling summer activities like paintball and high ropes, proving even basics like internet or a football can be luxuries. Deputy manager Tom Chambers, a local who remembers when youth clubs were common, says EPIC bridges gaps, builds relationships, and shapes futures. Plans for free bus travel for under-18s could bring even more kids downtown, making space and resources even more critical. As a police-shopping center partnership, EPIC is part of a broader network transforming community perceptions and fostering real, positive change.
