A Youth Hub opened in Exeter on 12 October 2026, the Department for Work and Pensions said in a press release that day. The hub, at St James Park, Stadium Way, opens on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and offers CV advice, skills training, mental health support, housing advice and careers guidance in one place. It is for young people aged 16 to 24.

The department said it was part of a commitment to deliver a Youth Hub in every local area of Great Britain over three years, as part of the government’s Youth Guarantee, and cited a £2.5 billion investment. It described almost a million young people as not in education, employment or training, and said every hub would meet minimum standards.

Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden said the Exeter hub was “a major step forward” for young people there. The department said the hub would work with local partners including Exeter City Community Trust, Exeter College, Co-Labs, Young Devon and YMCA.
