Working for the Milford Youth

I am sure many of us see young faces around Milford on Sea, and will be pleased to know that there is a very active Milford on Sea Youth Club.

 

The Youth groups meet in the dedicated youth room at the Village Community Centre. This is a very important part of the work of the Community Centre and is a resource for all young people in the village and the surrounding area.

 

The youth groups, which are for young people aged between 10 and 18, meet on two evenings every week throughout the year.

 

They are grouped according to age with years 6 and 7 meeting from 4pm to 6pm on a Monday; Year 7s upwards from 5.45pm to 7.45pm on a Tuesday. The older group meet on a Monday from 7pm to 9pm.

 

There are lots of activities, like pool, table tennis, cooking, arts and sports. The young people at the club agree that; ‘The youth club is a great place to come and meet with our friends. It’s a safe place to come with lots to do and we get to meet new people.’

 

On Monday 3^rd September the youth workers are holding an open session from 4pm until 6pm, all young people are invited to come along to find out how they can enjoy the club. So, please encourage any youngsters you know to come along and get involved!

The youth workers are paid for through a donation from the Parish Council, and fundraising events at the Community Centre. And they are always very appreciative of any donations from local businesses.

 

If any of your young at heart readers are interested in supporting young people in their community, they are looking for new members for the youth committee, and they are always keen to hear from anyone who would like to work as a volunteer alongside our qualified youth workers.
