Mercread Youth Centre (charity number 1201236) has been supporting the Seaford community for over 60 years, providing essential services to young people and residents.

What started as a local Boy’s Club later evolved to offer mixed youth clubs and community initiatives. We relaunched in 2022 as a Charitable Incorporated Organisation, formed a new trustee team, renovated the building, and started working hard to reengage young people and the wider community.

Since then, the centre has experienced rapid growth, with weekly youth clubs now supporting over 90 regular attendees. We’re a grassroots organisation made up of residents who want to see the Seaford community thrive.

MYC’s mission is to ensure that all young people in Seaford have access to safe, inclusive spaces where they can be heard, supported, and empowered. All youth club sessions are free, to remove financial barriers, and act as a safe space for them to socialise and engage in a range of positive activities that promote wellbeing and personal/social development e.g. cooking, football, basketball, table tennis, pool, and arts.
