Mossley £35k youth centre make-over
Adam Lumley The YamYam 7 Mar 10
A series of open events are to take place at the re-opened Mossley Youth Centre, based in Sneyd Lane, Bloxwich next week. Special sessions for young people aged between 13 and 19 will take place on four evenings and one afternoon next week.
A community open evening takes place on Monday between 6:00pm and 8:00pm when parents and residents can find out more about the services on offer. On Wednesday 10, an internet café and homework support clubs will happen between 3:00pm and 5:00pm followed by a young people’s opening event between 6:00pm and 8:00pm. On Thursday 11, there is a young women’s session to mark International Women’s Day, again between 6:00pm and 8:00pm. The week rounds off with a Stay Safe session with West Midlands Police on Friday evening between 8:00pm and 2:00am.
The £35,000 to pay for the project comes from the Government’s Youth Opportunity Fund to pay for activities and money from the Youth Capital Fund Plus for building improvements. The refurbishment has included new toilets and improvements to the entrance, making it more accessible and secure for young people. Cabinet member for children's services Councillor Rachel Walker said: "I'm sure young people in the area will enjoy the great range of positive things to do in their spare time.
"I hope as many young people, their parents and members of the community, go along on Monday to see for themselves the type of things on offer.
"I'm sure this will be a great place for young people to gather and take advantage of the various services on offer with the added bonus of back up support from the youth workers based there."
