Issues of Note :
A handful of local youths from Coppull had the pleasure of visiting a local prison. This was aimed at educating the youths about life inside the prison and speaking to prisoners first hand about their crimes and how it has affected them, their families and their future. This was the first visit of its kind and was very successful. All the youths have given very good positive feedback outlining that it was educational and yet interesting.
Funding has been obtained from the young peoples service for football to be run on a Friday evenings between 8pm and 1-pm. This is being run by a company called Freestyle-Urban-Soccer. The aim is to engage local youths with an activity that is interesting to them and competitive at the same time during one of our busy periods for Anti Social Behaviour.. This starts on Friday 12th March and will run for six weeks.
