Youth Committee News Letter

We have fantastic youth in Gerrards Cross and we on the Parish Council are concerned that, and there is no easy of putting this, Gerrards Cross may appear to be a bit of a dull place if you are lucky enough to be a young person. 

We also realise that many youth activities that GX young people get involved take place outside of Gerrards Cross meaning that we, Gerrards Cross miss out on the energy and vibrancy of its own youth and at the same time converts parents in to taxi drivers.

Youth of Gerrards Cross

To address this is not an overnight job but we have set ourselves 3 objectives for the coming year:

• Publicise better the youth activities in GX

• Establish a dialogue so we can understand better what GX youth would actually like

• Organise at least one event for GX youth

To help us, we have recruited 3 Duke of Edinburgh Students who are busy developing Facebook pages which we hope to launch in the coming weeks.  We have also recruited an associate member to who will help us  with our objectives. 

However, what we would really like is to hear from you if you have ideas for this initiative and particularly if you interested in getting involved.  So if you  are interested in starting up say a drama club, community choir, or anything else that can be done in GX then please contact us at clerk@gerrardscross.gov.uk, we would love to hear from you.  We do have a small budget and other resources available to help get things started.
