YMCA East Surrey – Caterham, Chaldon and Whyteleafe Youth Club.
Suzanne and I were delighted to be invited to visit the Caterham, Chaldon and Whyteleafe Youth Club run by the YMCA at St Johns Church Hall in Caterham. Jeremy Webster the SCC Divisional Councillor met us there with Pat Cannon, who as a Council Member for the High Sheriff Youth Awards assessed the Youth Club last year which led to the approval of a grant to help support the club. Accompanied by my two police cadets, Imogen and Grace, Suzanne and I arrived just in time to enjoy some delicious banana bread which had been baked by some of the year 6-8 young people who attend the earlier session on a Thursday between 3.45-5.15pm. They also enjoyed a glow disco party which was great fun. After a quick turn around years 9-11 are welcomed from 6.15-8.15pm. Fiona Oldam and her team from the YMCA ensures there is never a dull moment. There are spaces available for local young people to come along with free transport provision, so come and join the fun!
