The Junction exists to support and aid the the development of young people in the community. Based in Junction Road Andover, The Junction offers a modern information and communication technology centre (with a fast broadband Internet connection), café, and integrated access to support groups and advice. 

The Junction information, advice and guidance centre is operated in partnership between Test Valley Youth Team, Ridgeway Housing and Alabaré Christian Care Centres. It offers a diverse range of services and activities for young people, aged between 13-25 from the Test Valley area.

The Project had its official opening event in May 2004 which was well attended by young people, local dignitaries including The Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire and the Mayor of Andover, staff and neighbours of the project.  We have been supported throughout the community by organisations such as Barclays bank who initially donated £30,000 for the furnishing of the internet café and have continued to support the project. Informal drop-in sessions run five days a week giving access to the internet facilities and information and advice. Other local agencies also run groups from the project including Andover Mind, Daybreak, Hampshire Youth Service, Andover College, and the Wessex Youth Offending Team.

Development of facilities for training and development opportunities is currently under review and we will soon be offering nationally recognised qualifications. Please contact us for updated information.
