North Yorkshire Youth Clubs to Re-Open
Over a dozen Youth Clubs re-open under North Yorkshire Youth
North Yorkshire Youth, (NYY) based at Carlton Lodge Activity Centre near Thirsk has announced that over a dozen youth clubs in North Yorkshire will re-open.
A new contract between NYY and North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC) means that the provision of youth clubs continues under the guidance of the experienced NYY Youth Development Team.
David Sharp, Chief Executive said:
“The new contract is an outcome of the decision to move more youth club provision into the voluntary sector and we are delighted to have been chosen to provide the service. Our experienced Youth Development Team is ideally placed to undertake this project”.
The new contract runs until August 2016.
Mark Faulkner, Head of Centre at Carlton Lodge added:
“Our vast experience providing learning and personal development opportunities for children and young people puts us in a unique position to provide activities that will support this initiative“
Pete Dwyer, Corporate Director for the Children and Young People’s Service said:
“North Yorkshire County Council is looking to transform the way it provides services, meeting its responsibilities in innovative and effective ways and working with communities to develop services for themselves.
The authority is committed to more targeted work with particular children, young people and families through the new Prevention Service, getting in early and helping to stop problems escalating. This great partnership with North Yorkshire Youth will complement this work, giving young people right across North Yorkshire access to new youth clubs. By NYY encouraging local communities to be involved in the running of the clubs, we expect new and exciting opportunities to be created.”
