Comfy Chairs for Youngsters

I COULD DO WITH A COMFY SIT DOWN……
WANT SOMEWHERE TO SIT THEN?

Well, that was the message received from Sarah to friends of the local Whitley Bay Rotary Club.
Sarah, our Office Administrator @ St Mary’s Monkseaton and her husband Alan started a new youth club last year on the premises of St Mary’s Church, Ilfracombe Garden’s, Whitley Bay.

The club is open to all and whilst using church premises it is not about church or religion, but young people in our community having the opportunity to meet safely on a weekly basis.
The club has been a huge success thanks to the energy and enthusiasm of Sarah, Alan and her helpers Imogen, Andrew, Tom and Cheryl. They have 25 young people who meet most Sundays from 6.30pm to 8.00pm to mix, socialise and have fun together with the usual assortment of games, ‘pop’, light food, biscuits, sweets and video games.

Sarah says it’s a mad house for an hour and half of non-stop activities. The young people had asked whether they could have a few comfy seats and thanks to President John and members of the Whitley Bay Rotary, the club has donated £200 from their Santa and Christmas Collections to purchase five ‘comfy’ chairs, which you could see in the picture, if they weren’t always occupied!!!
