A popular Shropshire youth club dating back to the 1930s has been praised by Shrewsbury MP Julia Buckley for its happy and positive vibe.
“I had a wonderful time meeting children, parents, trustees and volunteers at the long-established Belle Vue Youth Club in Rocke Street, Shrewsbury,” said Mrs Buckley following her visit this week.
“I discovered that children and teenagers can enjoy a wide range of activities at the club such as football, chess, video games, board games, table tennis, growing vegetables in their own allotment, painting, drawing and colouring – to name but a few! The place has such a happy and positive vibe.”
“I had the pleasure of meeting their dedicated team including manager and senior youth worker Helen Hatton, Chair of Trustees Mike Price, Kerry Williams of Shropshire Youth Association and many others.
“And I was also able to chat with the fantastic volunteers, parents and the children themselves.”
The club – which meets Mondays, 7 pm – 8.30 pm – was originally founded in the 1930s by a local clergyman, but is now housed in a modern building.
The club is always happy to welcome new members and also interested in recruiting new volunteers. Anyone interested should call 07886 997116 or email helenhatton@aol.com
