Report commentI think it is such a shame that South Hill Park has had its finances cut given the important work that it does with different sections of the community South Hill Park is not just an entertainment resource , although it does have a very diverse and wonderful programme , it also plays an important part working within the community providing educational and developmental opportunities for all cross sections of the community. Its key areas in recent times as been to develop its work with children and schools and also people with disabilities , but it also provides a diverse range of courses for adults and children.

It has also been forgotten than many youth centres and youth schemes have also had money cut and are facing closure which is indeed a concern as these services are vital due to the work they undertake and how they support youth witin the area .
