The Keyworth Village Plan adresses facilities and leisure opportunities for all young people in the target group (between 11 and 18 years).

Why are we doing this?

  • The perception of young people by the village community as a whole
  • The requirements and aspirations of the target group
  • Disconnection between young people and the rest of the community

What is currently available?

  • Provision by the County Council run Keyworth Young People's Centre
  • Provision of safe areas for young people to congregate - e.g. Skate Park, Play Areas
  • Provision of youth-orientated organisations, e.g. Scouts, and their profile and accessibility to the community as a whole
  • Provision of youth-orientated sports clubs, e.g. Tennis Club, and their profile and accessibility to the community as a whole
  • Possible connection of organisations and sports clubs with young people where none or few currently exist

What can be done next?

  • Increased need for local people to volunteer to work with young people and the barriers (real or perceived) to doing this
  • Links between the schools and out of school activities
  • Links between the schools, youth organisations, and local businesses

Contacts

 

The Young People's Plan will be developed in consultation with all stakeholders. Including but not exclusively:

Key Questions for the Action Group
