This is your chance to have a say in how the buses will look when they are out and about around Sandwell.

The Sandwell Youth Bus accompanies detached youth teams in undertaking detached youth work in areas of Sandwell. Detached youth work is a model of youth work practice, targeted at vulnerable & excluded young people that mainstream youth work and other services may not reach.

The Youth Bus is a fantastic tool to get young people engaged with youth workers in areas that may not have any youth provision or areas may be suffering from anti-social behaviour. Youth Workers can then develop programmes and projects with the young people to address their needs / issues.

The Youth Bus has 6 laptops with 4G internet access – young people like these for social networking and games and to catch up with homework or to research for their accreditation courses.

There is a full DJ workstation where young people can develop their skills around music mixing and production as well as rapping / MC and singing.

We have a Playstation 4 in a dedicated games room with rocker seats, and there is an XBOX One with Kinect so young people can be active whilst having fun.

There are also 4 televisions all with Freeview or DVD access and a space for workshops, group discussions and one to one work.

The Youth Bus travels around Sandwell.

If you would like to find out where the bus will be at a specific time, please contact youngpeople_services@sandwell.gov.uk

Please Note: The Youth Bus is only partially accessible to wheelchair users.
