Spaldwick Youth Group ‘Escape’
A new, and very active, group formed by parents in the village, intent on securing better facilities and activities for the young people in Spaldwick.
In its short life, it has instigated highly-successful youth nights, which are held on alternate Friday evenings. Children have time to chill out with their friends, while having access to a wide range of games and facilities, including Playstation 3, table tennis and Xbox Kinect, which have kindly been donated from several sources.
In addition, special events are organised throughout the year, including the Connections Bus and Spider Mountain.
