Steve Anderton

Openings Manager

Steve joined OnSide in May 2023 as Openings Manager after spending six years at The Hive Youth Zone in Birkenhead. He was one of The Hive’s original team members in 2017 and became the Lead Youth Worker for its Senior members.

During his time with The Hive, Steve also spent a year at Future Youth Zone in Barking and Dagenham across two spells, as assistant Head of Youth Work in 2019, when he also completed OnSide’s Talent Academy, and Interim Head of Youth Work in 2021.

Steve also has eight years of experience prior to joining The Hive working as a Youth Worker, with the Local Authority as a Sports development, youth work and Outreach teams.

He is passionate about the impact Youth Work can have on young people’s lives and providing opportunities and support for young people to enable them to be the very best version of themselves.

After witnessing first-hand the impact Youth Zones have on young people and their communities, he was keen to provide that opportunity for even more young people across the country and his role at OnSide sees him focus on the opening of Horizon Youth Zone in Grimsby.

He will work closely with young people and the new Horizon team to ensure the Youth Zone has a successful opening and the best possible foundations to support thousands of young Grimbarians.
