Clubs for Young People Northamptonshire was recently awarded a grant from the St Giles Charitable Trust Fund, through Northamptonshire Community Foundation. This grant has enabled a new, free youth provision in Briar Hill, Northampton.
New youth sessions are focused on encouraging teamwork, building confidence, managing stress and anxiety, and promoting community cohesion. One of the activities on offer is food preparation skills, guided by a local chef and with a hot meal provided to every attendee.
