Somercotes youth building needs repairs to the underneath the council don't have the funds to repair the building they propose to close it and knock it down i am asking the council for the chance to be given so long to try to raise the funds to get the repairs done and apply to take over the building. If I succeed in doing this I feel the building will be a great asset to the community which I feel is really needed in somercotes. If I am successful in this these are the sort of services which will be put into place within the building.

The youth provision will reopen

Family group

Maths and English courses which can be run as a class or on a one to one basis

Help with CV Writing

A young mums support group

Craft group

Cookery classes

Walking group which is wheelchair and buggy friendly

Lego group

Group budget holidays/camping trips

Day trips

Exercise classes suitable for all

Child/teenage yoga

Movie nights

Community meals/Takeaway/bingo nights

Food bank

There is also the possibility of a breakfast stop off for parents etc after they have dropped their children off at school and a cake and coffee stop for dog walkers also looking at the possibility of a childminding service or crèche within the building. There would also be opportunity for other groups to rent the space off me. If I am successful the youth club building would become my full time job along with putting things into it to make it the hub of the community for everyone. I would also be open to ideas of any services people would like to see. However first I need to try and save the building and I need everyones help to do this so if you would like the somercotes youth club building to remain open and would like to see these services in place please sign this petition and if I am given the chance please look out for my fundraising events. Thankyou Maria
