The whole community
OnSide Youth Zone Thames Gateway isn’t just being built for Thurrock’s young people – it’s being built with the community, by the community.
As an independent charity, we’re proud to be working in partnership with Thurrock Council, Tilbury Towns Fund, and a fantastic network of local businesses to turn this ambitious vision into reality. And this is just the beginning.
Now is the perfect moment to get involved and play a part in building something truly impactful.
There are three great ways you can take part:
- Volunteer – Give your time, skills and enthusiasm to support and inspire young people to reach their potential.
- Join our team – Start or grow a career where you can make a genuine difference every day.
- Partner with us – Work alongside us and invest in the future of Thurrock’s young people, helping to create long-term impact
In the months ahead, we’ll be hosting regular events to share updates, exchange ideas, and bring together those who care about making a difference. Whether you’re keen to volunteer, explore career opportunities, or collaborate as a partner, we’d love to welcome you.
Because when we come together for young people, the possibilities are endless.

Working together for young people
Throughout the development of the Youth Zone, we’ll be hosting engagement events and information sessions for community partners, stakeholders, and local agencies. These will provide updates on the progress of OnSide Youth Zone Thames Gateway while opening conversations around future partnership opportunities and collaborative working.
We welcome support from individuals, businesses, and organisations who share our passion for helping young people thrive. Whether you’re interested in joining the team, volunteering your time and expertise, delivering activities, or supporting us as a local partner or sponsor, we’d love to connect with you and explore how we can work together to make a lasting difference for Thurrock’s young people.
