Save Our Youth Centre
Campaign by Pie Factory Music (RCN 1097561)
Kent County Council is selling Pie HQ Ramsgate Youth Centre, our home since 2013, and we are trying to buy it! We’re aiming to raise £15,000 through community donations to support our £500,000 target, gained through grants.

Story

Pie’s youth workers - Connor, Jeff and Luis - are cycling 240 miles from coast-to-coast, Portishead to Ramsgate, in 5 days from 5th to 9th June 2025 in a bid to raise funds for Pie and awareness of the need for dedicated spaces for young people to go to. The team will visit youth clubs along the way to meet young people and fly the flag for youth work. Every turn of the pedals aims to get Pie Factory Music closer to saving Ramsgate Youth Centre, which is being put up for commercial sale by Kent County Council, highlighting the urgent and important need for investment in youth work in Thanet.

Anything you can give will go a long way to fuel them during the ride and support Thanet's young people in the future.

Connor, Jeff and Luis say “We live and breathe bikes, running Pie’s crime prevention Bike Project initiative that equips young people with the skills and independence to ride, fix and maintain bicycles. It's been a tough fight to save our youth centre, so with summer on the horizon, we're channelling our passion into action. We've been pushing our limits, training hard, and are ready to take on some mega pedal power to raise £2,000 and awareness of our cause. We know times are tough for many, but anything you can give to offer the young people of Thanet hope right now is so appreciated.”
