young people to be positive role models who can create engaged, vibrant and equal communities throughout Crawley. It provides clubs for young people in Bewbush, Gossops Green and Langley Green.
“Vent-Axia is delighted to support Crawley
Community Youth Service and help local young people,” said Jenny Smith. “We were keen to support our local community when we picked our charity for the year and the Service is a great example of bringing the community together and empowering young people. We are delighted to be able to work alongside the Mayor in supporting their work.”
