Youth Report - 2010

@mosphere 

Very regretfully, we recently had to announce that due to long-term, persistent anti-social behaviour this term time Monday night drop in youth club  has had to be closed indefinitely.
On a more positive note, as a result of this closure, we have now been able to allocate more time to new and existing activities and dates at the Crux lunchtime drop in at Framingham EarlHigh School; this is a much safer and controlled environment for everyone concerned.

While we feel it was necessary to stop @mosphere for the time being, the @mosphere model will probably be brought back again at some time in the future but with a different branding. However, we feel it is unwise to do so too soon due to reasons for the closure.


 


Camps: 

We have secured £600 from a successful grant from the diocese to subsidise ticket costs for NYFC's Spring Camp 2010 and Newday in August. From the success of last years Newday, we hope to camp with OakGroveChurch again. So far thanks to the subsidies we have 8 young people booked in to Newday, and 7 young people booked in to Spring Camp. Last year God really spoke to the young people through Newday and its so encouraging to see them grow in their faith.


Mettle:

Mettle (Activities / Themed Club for 13 – 16's)

Mettle is a small group for 13-16's, while we are disappointed it has not attracted more young people we have benefited from better small group discussions. For this term we are taking the group to do NYFC's 2010 Youth Alpha course at the Kings Centre in Norwich, along with some young people from Fram. Gospel Choir.


Poringland Youth Club

The Friday night Council run club has had the same behavioural problems as @mosphere, but we have brought in no nonsense ground rules which seem to be bearing fruit. The volunteers there have had lots of conflict training, one of which is an ex bouncer! This club attracts the same crowd as @mosphere, this was not the case last year.
