Empowering Littlehampton's young people

The Keystone Centre is a community youth charity helping and educating young people aged 8 to 19 through sport, learning and leisure — so they can grow in confidence, character and opportunity.

Our Mission

A safe place to play, learn and belong

For more than four decades we have given the young people of Littlehampton somewhere to go, something positive to do, and someone who believes in them.

“To help and educate young people through their leisure-time activities so as to develop their physical, mental and spiritual capacities, that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society, and that their conditions of life may be improved.”

Why It Matters

Every young person deserves a fair start

Growing up isn't always easy. Some young people in our community face pressures at home, at school or online, and too few have a safe, affordable place to spend their free time.

The Keystone Centre exists to change that. As a small, grassroots charity, we put every penny back into the young people we serve — keeping our doors open, our activities accessible, and our welcome warm.

  • A safe, supervised and fully safeguarded environment
  • Affordable activities open to all, regardless of background
  • Trusted youth workers and volunteers who genuinely care
  • A proud part of the Littlehampton community since 1978
