Despite losing the support of the Youth Workers from Breckland Council(who went off to open up new projects, we are apparently too good and don’t need their help!) the Youth Project has kept going.  The only problem we had was to find the funding for the rental of the Jubilee Hall.  Many thanks to the Parish Council for providing a cheque that will keep us going for a few months.  We have also managed to obtain more funding from another source that will provide us with the rent for the rest of the year! 
We have bought lots of new equipment including a new table tennis table, karaoke machine, Play Station Games, CDs basketball hoop and rounders set.  We were also able to buy some new table top games to keep the youngsters amused.  Funding has also just been obtained to buy a bigger and better pool table. 
The youngster have also been involved in raising funds, at Christmas we had a table at a Christmas Fair at Swaffham and a few of the youngsters manned the stall.  They had a team at our Quiz Night! They are also helping with the arrangements for the Litcham Village Fete.
There have still been a few problems with the youngsters hanging around in the bus shelter and upsetting the neighbours, but hopefully these instances are becoming less frequent.  We had a visit from the Community Police Officer who chatted with the Project and has offered to come along again.
Again we would welcome extra volunteers to help run the Project, at present there are two volunteers on every Thursday evening running the club, extra help means we won’t have to be there so often!  We would also welcome any people with specific skills who could come along and perhaps give a little talk or a demonstration, I feel sure that the youngsters are fed up with what four female volunteers have to offer!
