Youthworx

Last Saturday was the Grand Opening of the new children’s play garden at Youthworx in Coningsby designed and made by the Young Parents Group.
The young parents had been working on the garden for over a year and were pleased to have it opened by the Mayor of Coningsby Coun Paddy Donnellan and deputy Mayor Coun Ruth Sharples and town clerk Kathy Roberts.
The young parents have built a sandpit, veg garden, and laid down bark in the garden.
They applied for a grant from the Youth Opportunity Fund which paid for all the play equipment such as a swing, slide and playhouse.
At the opening they had cake and toy stall which raised over £39 towards the group’s funds.
At the opening the young parents were also awarded their Millennium Volunteers Certificates by County Councillor Mrs Betty Harvey OBE
They were presented to Sarah Hall, Andrew Hall, Chris Midgley, Emily Atkinson and Michaela Hannay.
The Young parents also entered their pumpkin in the Coningsby Show and won first prize, their scarecrow won third prize.
