How these recycled shipping containers are providing activity spaces for young people

“Youth groups will be able to return to Woodbridge soon following the arrival of new specialist activity spaces.
Woodbridge is currently awaiting the construction of the £3 million Jetty Lane Youth and Arts Centre which is set to house many of the town’s community groups as well as offering studio and office spaces.
Plans were approved for the site in February 2019 and since then fundraising has been underway to bring the project to fruition.
As the plans for the space move forward, the Jetty Lane Group have now received a donation of two activity spaces which will give local youth groups a temporary home.
The new activity spaces are 20ft by 20ft each and are being laid on paving slabs at the site set to be used for the permanent youth centre structure.
The spaces are pre-used and were driven up to Suffolk from their previous location at London’s Jubilee Pier earlier this week.
Those behind the project expect to use the temporary spaces for the next two or three years until the new building is completely finished.
The buildings have been gifted to the Jetty Lane Group by Eric Reynolds, chairman of Save Britain’s Heritage and trustee of the National Maritime Museum.”
