We’ve been working with the local assembly to establish a youth club in Lee Green Ward. Back in May, we secured £20,000 to help make it happen. The youth club will launch in September (details here as soon as they’re finalised) but in the meantime, the youth service have arranged for some summer youth activity in the ward.
On Monday next week (17th August), there’ll be youth activities on the Newstead Road (Stoneycroft/Wildwood Close) estate (12.30 onwards)
Next Tuesday (18th August), the Rolling Sound Bus will be on the Leybridge Court estate again – three sessions of game design and music production from 12 til 2; 2.30-4.30 and 5pm until 7pm.
Next Wednesday (19th August), there’ll be sports activities on the Newstead Road estate (12.3o onwards)
There’ll also be a day trip on Thursday 20th – turn up to one of the sessions earlier in the week for details.
There’ll be further activities the week after (w/b 24th August) – Rolling Sound will be on Leybridge on Tuesday 25th running the same sessions as on the 18th.
Finally – a quick request – we’re looking for volunteers from the community to serve on the management committee of the new youth club. Anyone can help, but we’re particularly after people with a passion for youth work, a potential treasurer, or someone with charity experience. Let me know if you’re interested.

Hello to everyone and in particular Muhammud who has made the summer youth activities possible on the lee estates. I missed the last meeting of the management steering group for the youth club and so would like to be involved next time round. Please send me dates of the next meeting and the venue and I will be there. I sincerely look forward to the development of the Lee area as a youth service of excellence and to the possibility of integrating projects with other groups.
