Coast Shelter will celebrate Youth Week with a night of free music and entertainment at the Peninsula Recreation Precinct on Friday, April 8.

The event will feature free food, a music lineup featuring headliner Elaskia, local artists, a range of youth services to meet and greet and Coast Shelter’s social enterprise coffee cart CSespresso.

CEO Michael Starr said Coast Shelter helps provide services and programs to improve the wellbeing of local young people.

“Youth Week takes on special meaning this year as we’re coming off the back of lock downs and young people have been unable to socialise with friends and enjoy getting together so come on down, grab a bite to eat and listen to some fantastic local artists,” Starr said.

Love Bites coordinator, Erin Jacob, said local primary and high schools are encouraged to get involved.

“It’s the first night of the school holidays and we want to have some fun while engaging with local young people and their families,” Jacob said.

The event will run from 4pm to 8pm.

Coast Shelter is a leading not-for-profit organisation providing specialist homelessness, domestic and family violence support services and crisis accommodation for women, women with accompanying children, young people and men on the NSW Central Coast.
