Attendance has remained high at the club with almost 70 young people through the door each week and more new members signing up all the time to take part in the youth clubs long standing program of arts and crafts, sports and games as well as the ever popular gaming sessions.
The team have also stressed how they are always open to more volunteers, with Trustee and Secretary Alan Platt saying: “Most of the team are here every week, but we do have some volunteers who can only join us every now and then and that is absolutely fine.”
