A Space for Young People in Mole Valley – The Leatherhead Youth Project.

I had an enjoyable visit to the Leatherhead Youth Project earlier this week. It must have been about eight years ago that I last visited and it was good to see it thriving. Launched in 2008 they provide much needed services for young people in North Leatherhead and more recently Bookham and across Mole Valley helping young people be safe, resilient and able to make positive changes in their own lives and in the community.

In North Leatherhead they offer an after school hub with a variety of activities, with experienced youth workers and counsellors available to provide guidance if required. They also provide food for those that attend and offer opportunities to go on trips, volunteer and run activities to help with the transition form primary to secondary schools and tuition help.

It was great to be shown around by CEO Jude Crome and Marketing & Community Fundraiser, Laura Dicken and also meet some of the young people having a great time.
