The Junction – going from strength to strength

Paul Dyne, Junction Centre Manager with Emma Reynolds, MP

We are excited to share that The Junction has exceeded 2000 visits in a month! Thanks to the dedicated team led by Paul Dyne and Lisa Butler, the numbers continue to show the impact the centre is having.

Open every afternoon from 4pm, The Junction offers free, inclusive activities for 11–18 year olds, alongside a safe, welcoming environment where they can relax, connect, and speak to a supportive team member whenever they need.

A number of tap to donate points are located in the town centre

Help us continue the brilliant work by using the tap to donate points in Wycombe town centre. We are working with HWBidCo to raise funds for the Junction to help support even more young people giving their free time purpose and a place to belong.

Event highlights: Knock out Knife Crime


Thank you to Thames Valley Police and Bucks Fire and Rescue Service for organising this fantastic event, which raised over £400 for Action4Youth. We also extend our gratitude to SCAS (South Central Ambulance Service) for their excellent First Aid sessions and to AlphaBoxing Gym for running engaging boxing sessions with young people and members of the public, it truly exemplified partnership working.

We were delighted to have Kents Hill Park School, Sir Herbert Leon Academy, Oakgrove School, and Milton Keynes College join us. The engagement from both young people and staff was truly inspiring.

Thank you to everyone who participated and supported this important initiative!
