Petition details
Save Our Youth Centre
We Have 45+ young people attending Caxton youth centre nearly every day. It will cause serious issues if these young people did not have a place to go every evening, has some of the young people who attend Caxton’s are really hard to reach and engage with.
The idea Tower Hamlets have is to do outreach in the area of Bow west, how much outreach can you do with out moving young people on?, such as getting them to go into their local youth centres. Outreach is a good idea, but other areas where other clubs are is in need of outreach not bow west. This shows that no consultation was made in the area before deciding to take away a youth club contract and have outreach. It was said that the youth council had made decisions, but myself and others have had meetings with the youth council and they strongly deny making any decisions to have Caxton’s contract removed, they are in favour or Caxton remaining open for young people as well as outreach happening.
Our youth centre has achieved all of its targets we have been given, we have young people from all different backgrounds Male and female attend, it would be a huge loss for the community to close our youth centre down.
