Young people who attended a popular club night run by Racial Equality Newham wanted a more permanent place to go. Funding was secured from the Neighbourhood renewal scheme as well as the Jack Petchey Foundation and Youth Opportunities Fund to develop a purpose built centre. Young people were involved in the design and development of the new centre which opened March 2007. As well as providing many needed facilities identified by the young people it also provides a space for young people with shared interest to meet crossing racial divides.
