ST PETER’S Youth Club are in desperate need of £35,000 to enable them to keep running their popular mobile bus scheme.

The club introduced the scheme in 2000 when it was decided that St Peter was lacking accessible facilities for its young people. With the youth centre operating successfully, it was decided that they needed to reach out to those who were not attending club sessions and after research was carried out among the community, young people decided that a Youth Bus was the answer. Community grants of £25,000 allowed a team of young people and members of the community to design the interior and exterior of the bus and the project has delivered youth work to the parish for the past seven years.
