Outreach In The Community at Whitemoss Youth Club

Outreach In The Community/ North Fields , use the club on Thursdays day time giving adults with special needs a place to a fun and chat to each other and there are not many places in the local area for them to be in one big place and really enjoy and get out of there houses. Meet new people all of them who I've got to know them well and they are fantastic people and hope they carry on , being able to come, fingers crossed if funding carries on which is a big problem not just for special need adults but also special need kids . On the 1st October we are going to start back the Fun Club on a Voluntary basis. If any one knows of any pots of funding we can tap into for the kids let us know / johnwhitemoss@myway.com Well done to Annette , one of the carers ,she 's a breath of fresh air when she comes in everyone loves her ,plus she gives us cookies each week apart from that she's great person blog from JOHNNY BIGGS 19th.September 2008.

40th Anniversary of Whitemoss youth club 29th sep 2007.



The 40th anniversary of the Club started the day with a fun day for the kids and many local families and friends. Local people could come along and look at the Clubs' history albums that the Voluntary Staff had put together for the occasion. The Late Roy Williams would of been proud of everybody who had been involved in the Celebrations.The founder members the late Mr. & Mrs Elliott and the volunteers from the early 60s' would be very proud to see how the club has been transformed over the many years.Over the last 5years or so we've worked very closely with MCC. and Northwards and the North M/c.Partnership.This has helped us to secure funding from many organisations.The day came to a close when we held celebrations in the evening at the Charlestown Pub ,when the local band Mimic Dave Heapy Drummer(Well Done!) Local Concillors stopped for the evening and thanks to the Brewery and the Charlestown they kindly provided the buffet for everybody.The pub was absolutely buzzing it was like a New Years Night.It was nice to see so many past and present friends all together enjoying a fabulous nite in our local Charlestown Pub.Thanks to Tiffany Lonergan for singing on the night and also at the Club in the daytime."A BIG THANKYOU!" to everybody for making the such a success.
