Youth Enquiry Service<br />
Youth Enquiry Service is a local charity that provides free support,<br />
information and counselling to young people. We are a confidential and<br />
friendly service, based in the centre of town. You can visit us in our drop in,<br />
contact us through our website, or book an appointment. We can work with<br />
anyone who is over 13 and under 25 years old, no question or issue is too big<br />
or too small. We appreciate how hard it can be to open up to someone, so<br />
we are here to help you and will never judge. We like to think we are doing a<br />
good job as we’ve been supporting young people since <strong>19</strong>82!<br />
Everyone working in the drop in or counselling service is a volunteer. Some<br />
volunteers also do outreach work, and offer counselling in schools and<br />
colleges. We fundraising tirelessly all year round from plant sales to quiz<br />
nights as we receive no funding from local or central government. Any<br />
donations we raise are used to continue our work with young people.<br />
We are always looking for volunteers to help us staff our drop in, training<br />
provided, we also offer placements to trainee counsellors. We have room on<br />
our executive committee too! Please contact us for more information if you<br />
are interested in volunteering with us.<br />
The Hazlemere Fete: Save The Date<br />
The next Hazlemere Fete will be held on the August Bank Holiday Monday<br />
as is traditional, in the grounds of Sir William Ramsay School. The date for<br />
your diary is Monday, 26th August 20<strong>19</strong>.<br />
In the last edition of <strong>VV</strong> I appealed for pictures of local historical interest<br />
that we could digitize and print to an exhibition standard. This appeal has<br />
resulted in a real treasure trove of pictures related not just to High<br />
Wycombe but Penn and the wider surrounding area. If you have any<br />
material that you think visitors would be intrigued to see, please contact<br />
the <strong>VV</strong> Editor. I am hoping that the historical content will be greater than<br />
before although I also welcome offers of digitized Art for exhibiting in our<br />
standard A4 format. Many of the Artists who exhibited last year have<br />
already been in dialogue about offering more work this year. There is no<br />
particular theme but there may be some panels given over to obvious<br />
categories, such as Animals or Fantasy or Common Wood depending on<br />
entries received. Following the Hurricane and Spitfire flypast, we hope for<br />
something special again if conditions permit. Bob Digby<br />
