Funding for youth activities

At last night's Frome Vale Area Forum meeting, local councillors allocated funding of £1602 towards an Art and Cafe project at Fromeside Youth Centre. Members were particularly impressed that the ideas had come from the young people themselves. The cafe project will enable young people to get more involved with running the cafe at the centre, hopefully helping some of them to find employment.

There was also a contribution of £1160 towards residential trips for young people with learning difficulties from across South Gloucestershire, £547 for a training and confidence building weekend for young people at St Nicholas Youth Centre and £7000 for an additional night at Brimsham Green, for 13 and 14 year olds.
