I’m of the generation where a youth club was a big part of growing up. Youth clubs were a great place to hang out with your friends, make new friends, play table tennis, eat sweets and generally have some independence from your parents. Now that I have children of my own, I’d really love for them to have the same opportunities that I had. So, following on from discussions with a number of local residents and parents like myself, I want to explore the possibility of setting up a youth club for 8-12 year olds in the Stonefield area of Stone.
I have already held preliminary discussions with potential venues and the next stage is to put a credible plan together that demonstrates to potential venues that we can run a safe youth club.
I run my own successful businesses and I am also a local councillor, so I’m very experienced in organising things. However, I don’t have experience setting up anything like a youth club, so I’d really like to recruit a team of volunteers who can work together to create a credible plan for the youth club and then in the future, if we are successful in getting this project off the ground, help to run the youth club.
We need volunteers who can carry out a range of tasks including:
- Planning.
- Administration.
- Youth Club Management.
- Experience of risk assessments and safeguarding is beneficial.
- Understanding or an interest in legislation.
Please note that this is a not-for-profit venture and is intended to provide a fun and safe space for children in the area.
If this sounds like something you could help to get off the ground, I’d really like to hear from you.
Get in touch with me by email: steven@stoneconservatives.co.uk
Thanks, Steve Walley
