One of the main reasons for starting the club is that we are experiencing some vandalism and anti social behaviour when young people gather in the park around the building. I was hoping that if we could engage the young people in the building they may have more sense of ownership and less inclination to cause trouble. I was initially thinking of working with 8-13 year olds on Saturday mornings and then maybe offering short focused projects to older teenagers through the local youth club, but all ideas will be gratefully received. many thanks Elaine Elaine Richmond Outreach Education Officer
