Council launches student design competition for new Mobile Community Hub

Horsham District Council is working in partnership with Collyer’s (the Horsham based sixth form college) and local vehicle graphics company PVL UK to create a new look for their Mobile Community Hub, formerly known as the Snack Wagon, a key mobile youth provision service vehicle for the Horsham District.

The hunt is on for a winning design to revamp and refresh the Mobile Community Hub ahead of the Youth Provision Service getting back on the road post lockdown.

Here’s a sneak peek of some of the creative entrants from art and design students at Collyer’s.

For a number of years the Mobile Community Hub, a mobile youth provision service, has been a key component within the Horsham town area providing a range of detached youth work in a variety of settings for young people aged 13 to 18 years.

With the easing of Covid19 restrictions the newly liveried vehicle will continue to engage with young people and provide advice and resources on lots of issues, particularly those generated by Covid19.

It is hoped that the vehicle will also get the opportunity to travel across the District over the coming year.

The ‘graffiti-ed’ vehicle acts as an informal meeting place and will provide a safe space for young people where they are already gathering.

Horsham District Council Cabinet Member for Community Matters and Wellbeing Cllr Tricia Youtan commented:

I think this is a great initiative to involve our younger community in using their creative skills on a real project which will ultimately help promote an important service for local young people.

“I look forward to seeing the final design.”
