Swavesey Action for Youth "Giving
a voice to young people"
SAY is an organisation that has been formed to enable and support youth
activity in Swavesey and surrounding communities, with
a particular focus on young people.
Regular meetings are held to look into future
funding for the group, a permanent venue for regular
youth activities/club, ideas for projects and activities
for the young people and to co-ordinate and manage youth
volunteers to run these activities.
SAY activities are funded by Swavesey Parish
Council, Fen Drayton Parish Council and Cambridgeshire
County Council. Grant funding is also being applied for
for project based activities.

History

Swavesey Youth Club
A very positive meeting was held in October 2006 to discuss how the Youth
Club on the Village College site could be re-opened.
Various options from purely voluntary, to partnership
working with the Cambridge Youth Service were discussed
and further meetings are now taking place to establish
an administrative Steering Committee to move this project
forward. However,
to make this project work it needs volunteers from
the village to help manage and run the activities. If
you think you could spare a minimum of 2 hours a month,
either to help with the steering committee or run the
future activities within the youth club then please
contact us. Without your help this will not happen.
It will be important
to involve young people with this group and to include teenagers
on the Steering Committee, so if you know of anyone
who would be interested please pass this information
on to them.
