6 Village Youth

We are on the lookout for volunteers to help us in the Pulhams, Rushall and Dickleburgh.  This could be in youth clubs, after-school clubs or drop-in based work.  It would involve helping us with the general running of the clubs, and would not necessarily need to be every week.  We work with young people aged 10 – 18 years and have several projects that need volunteers.

We are also in need of people to get involved on the management committees to make sure that the clubs and groups are sure to continue.  This would involve meeting approximately 3 times per year and need not be a huge commitment to anyone's time.  You do not need to have previous experience in working with young people and we can offer training and guidance along the way.  All volunteers will require an enhanced CRB check at no personal cost..

Whatever time you are willing to give, we will be able to match jobs to your available time and can work with people who want to be flexible or commit to a regular session.

For more information on what we do and/or just a chat – please contact Hazel Blackburn on 07763 090976 or e-mail hazel@6villyouth.org.uk


eXchange 2

Do you know what this is?

Have you noticed a mobile home/cabin near the leisure centre on the recreation ground in Harleston?

Well, that is the home on an organisation called eXchange 2. It is a meeting place for young people over the age of eleven years, designed to give them somewhere to go after school or in the evening. It is run by a combination of trained staff and volunteers and offers a variety of activities such as computer games, including a wii, drawing and painting, outside games (weather permitting) or just somewhere to chat to friends. We are always open to other suggestions for activities.

There is always squash, tea and coffee on offer as well as a tuck shop on Tuesday evenings and toast on Thursdays.

The centre is generally open on Tuesdays from 7-8.30pm and Thursdays 4-5.30pm.

Football, run by trained staff is being programmed for Tuedays, 6-7pm subject to support.

Why don't you give it a try or just drop in to have a look.
