Who we are.

Barnet’s Youth Zone, named “Unitas” by local young people, opened in summer 2019 as the second OnSide Youth Zone in London.

At Unitas, we believe that all young people in Barnet should have the opportunity to discover their passion and their purpose, to find out what they’ve got and where it could take them. Our Youth Zone is a purpose-built space fizzing with energy and crammed with incredible facilities.
