THE COMMUNITY CURSE AT THE JUBILEE!<br />
BOO :we’re out to get you !!!<br />
LAUNCH PAD<br />
The Launch Pad has been very busy over the last few months. Over 500<br />
young people attend the Youth Club every month. The Lunch time club<br />
has also been popular with over 600 students attending. The Launch Pad<br />
has a Volunteer Programme where young people come along and help<br />
with activities. In October, 10 volunteers helped with the South Forum<br />
event at the Jubilee Centre and also with the October half term activities, where 130 young people<br />
attended and had a great time. The highlight was the Halloween party, with some fantastic costumes<br />
and lots of spooky games and food to enjoy (see photo above.)<br />
