UNITY COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION, LIVERPOOL
'The Unity' is used by internal projects, individuals and groups working with young people - around general activities and specialisms such as boxing or football. There is a young women's room, where privacy or culture dictates events be held separately from boys and young men. The activities take place even though the Unity is not in a good physical state; partly due to the welcoming atmosphere.
