Young people
The strength of The Mix is the fact that it includes local young people in many parts of the project. Including design, consultation and holiday activities.

The Mix is a fantastic idea, and will definitely transform the lives of young people living in and around Stowmarket.
The Mix is also a fantastic example of what can happen when young people and adults work together, and hope that this continues with The Mix for years to come.
I look forward to seeing The Mix when it finally opens.
