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.
