Switch Youth Services Fundraising Ball - 2026
Switch Youth Services are excited to announce their 2026 Fundraising Ball at the amazing High Rocks in Tunbridge Wells. This will take place on Saturday 9th May 2026, 6pm-Midnight.
Unfortunately, this event is limited to 140 tickets, which cost £50.00 each. For this you will get welcome drinks upon arrival, a three-course meal and after dinner coffee. Entertainment will be provided, including Shalamar Baker-an amazing young singer, there will also be an auction for some very exclusive items and music until midnight provided by their resident DJ, plus one or two surprises.
Every penny raised at this event will go back into our service allowing us to support the young people we engage with, some of whom will be in attendance on the night.
So please come and join us, we would love to see you there!

Support & Advice
We offer a friendly environment, specifically for young people, with trained staff available to offer support, advice and guidance should you need it.
We have faith in all young people, and accept everyone who steps through the door, and believe that you should all have a voice that’s heard!
Over the past five years we have supported young people with issues involving sexual health (we are CCard registered), drugs, alcohol, problems at school, college, at home and anything in between.
We can help you with CV building or even advice with interviews, we will help cater for as many of your needs as possible.
Switch’s experience working with different agencies and charities means even if we can’t personally help you we will try our absolute hardest to refer you to someone who can.
You can either contact us directly or check our helplines page.
What the youth say about Switch
'Switch has encouraged me to be myself. I have spoken to people about my mental health issues and they have helped me so much! If they hadn’t been here for me I don’t know where I would be now or whether I’d be here at all.'
'Switch does so much for the community for young people. It gives them a place to go out of the cold, people who care to talk to, a place to chill and a place to have.'
'Switch is amazing in my eyes, I’ve always felt safe here! It is like a second home to me, my family trust me here. Since coming here about 4 months ago I’ve gained more confidence in myself'
'Switch encourages me to get out of the house and socialise with my friends, to get away from the computer screens and have fun'
'Switch is a great place for teenagers to go. I am thankful that Switch is here because it helps me with my everyday life.'
'Thank you for letting us be us.'
'There's a lot of good people to talk to.'
'I feel valued which is new for me’
