Report

The Youth Club has been up and running for the last year and is now a lively part of the Parish life for young people. We meet every Friday in the Parish Centre and play table tennis, table football, snooker and board games. We were lucky in raising an initial sum of £500 towards equipment and outings and a parishioner was kind enough to buy us a table tennis table. We have a music centre and CDs and members are welcome to bring their own music along. We also sometimes have games of bingo and Quiz Nights.

Special events we have enjoyed include a trip to Feltham Superbowl, an evening at Art 4 Fun in Chiswick and a disco which was run to raise money for the NSPCC.

During the Summer months we enjoyed going over to Turnham Green for games of football. We are in the process of becoming affiliated to Hounslow Youth Groups which will give us access to other facilities and potential activities.

Over the coming winter months we shall turn to more indoor activities. We plan a Table Tennis tournament, Quiz Night and a Christmas Disco is booked for November 25th. We also plan another bowling trip and we are designing a mural which we are going to make with help from Art 4 Fun. We also plan some fund-raising activities so that we can organise more outings for next year.

We also hope throughout the year to organise support and help for local charities/good causes/ encourage our members to take social responsibility in the area and within our Parish.
