Wokingham Youth service on the move every Wednesday in Barkham

Wokingham Borough Council’s Villages Youth Project, which hosts Barkham youth club in the local village hall, is back this summer to provide outdoor activities! The Wokingham youth workers will be visiting Elizabeth Park at Junipers Field every Wednesday evening between 7pm and 9pm over the next few months.

This is a great opportunity for young Wokingham people aged 11 to 19 years to take part in a variety of free, fun activities, including football, rounders, cricket, hockey, as well as arts and crafts and much more. Most importantly, you will also be able to have your say about what facilities you would like to see in the Barkham area as Barkham Parish Council is informally asking for general suggestions, ideas and comments about what the area needs.

Louise Morris, Wokingham neighbourhood youth worker, said: “Young people will have the chance to take part in fun activities within their local area. It is a great opportunity for them to find out which projects are being offered and get a taster of what’s on offer at their local youth club. One of the main aims of the mobile provision is to encourage young people to become involved in their local community and have their voices heard about the facilities that they would like to see in Barkham.

“Come along for a chat and tell us what you would like to have access to in Barkham!”
