Funding plea the kids need you

This is a blog about the clubs future plans with such a high demand of kids/youths in our area with more houses being built but our club has stayed the same size since 1967 plus insurance polices we can only cater for 8 kids/Youths to one member of staff. To the Government you keep building these new houses and expect us to cater for more and more family's so our plan is to exstend the Youth Club at the back and put multi sports area at the back of the club then we can cater for more kids/youths.Then keeping more Kids/youths off the streets hope fully some funders can see it makes sense in the long run it will save Council/police money in the long run.Blog done by johnny biggs. on16/march/2009
