Wigan Youth Zone is a purpose built, youth facility in the town centre which opened in June 2013.
Wigan Youth Zone is the brainchild of Wigan businessman Dave Whelan, who with Martin and Bill Ainscough, donated over half the development costs. The youth centre was OnSide’s first Youth Zone to be largely funded by the private sector.
