Youth Cafe progress
This week the Youth Cafe has received the promise of a massive boost to its plans to turn part of the Frank Jordan Centre into its permanent home. Stone Market Town Initiative approved a grant of up to £19000. But this is not a cash gift. It is dependent upon the Youth Cafe raising a similar amount and in the fastest possible time. The SMTI scheme ends at the end of March and unless the Cafe can raise their part of the cash before then the grant will lapse. So there is some very urgent fund raising to be done in the next few weeks to take advantage of this grant.
I am desperate to support the Youth Cafe. It will fulfil an urgent need in the town and from the response of the young folk it will be heavily used. We must do everything within our power to support this venture. It would be a tragedy to miss out on SMTI funding at the stage. So in the next few days I am going to be talking to various people and organisations to see what can be done to achieve this target.
