PRESS RELEASE: House in the Basement Youth Café Celebrates 10 Years

Published: 06 April 2023

Dignitaries, young people, current and past staff, and volunteers gathered together on Saturday 1st April 2023 to celebrate the House in the Basement Youth Café being open for 10 years. The catering and birthday cake was generously donated by Prestige Catering and much enjoyed by everyone who attended.

Sevenoaks Town Council and Sevenoaks Youth Council were successful in obtaining a very significant £150,000 grant from Ibstock Cory Environmental Trust (now Enovert) for the conversion of the Stag basement to a youth facility.

House in the Basement Youth Café first opened its doors in 2012 and since then has seen thousands of visits from young people and hundreds of events. The Youth Café is also home to The Lewis Project and We Are Beams.
