Graeme Morrison, the Strategic Engagement & Partnership Manager (SEPM) gave an update on the proposed Detached Youth Work Project in Tidworth and Ludgershall.

The PowerPoint is included in the minutes.

Tidworth Town Council representatives highlighted the magnet the local skate park was proving to be as an almost informal youth club. It was suggested that a local youth worker operating nearby would allow support and contact to be given.

Cllr Paul Oatway referred to a “Blue Bus” initiative that is a mobile youth centre travelling to rural areas providing activities and food.

A point was made about more active contact and support with young people being needed to increase confidence among them that they are being thought about and supported.
