We have several exciting things running during October for the young people of Thatcham.
First we have our weekly Vision Youth Club for 8-12 Year Olds which runs every friday from 6pm-8pm at Moorside Community Centre, Urquhart Road with entry just £1 per young person. There is lots on offer this month for those that attend and you can find details on our Facebook page and website.
Thatcham Youth are excited to launch our FREE family movie evenings this Saturday September 24th. We hope you will be able to join us, doors will open at 5.40pm and the movie will start at 6.00pm. We will be showing The Jungle Book (2016).
Entry of course is free, but we have limited seating and there will be a tuck shop as well with sweets, crisps, popcorn & drinks on offer!
Thatcham Roller Disco returned last night (September 4th) attracting lots of families & young people along. Our brand new skate company brought along a great music selection, massively improved lighting and an overall great night!

All taking place at Kennet Leisure Centre, Stoney Lane, Thatcham. With the family session taking place 5.00pm - 6.15pm and the open to all session at 6.30pm - 8.00pm.
Thatcham Youth are launching a fresh campaign to recruit volunteers to help with organising & running activities. We have been running for the last six and a half years and are now in need of some new volunteers to help us continue to run and offer the youth provision that we do.
Thursday July 21st saw the repainting works at Moorside Community Centre take place, with the help of TalkMobile volunteers, Wickes providing paint & equipment and some volunteers from the organisers of the work Thatcham Youth.
Last Friday Vision Youth Club were joined by Heartstart Thatcham.
Thatcham Youth in partnership with Wickes & Vodafone are giving Moorside Community Centre on Urquhart Road on the Kennet Heath Estate, Thatcham a fresh lease of life; with Wickes donating paint & equipment and Vodafone providing Volunteers for the project. It will be the first refresh the centre has had in quite some time.
The community centre is used by the Reintegration Unit, Thatcham Pre-school and hired out for private use by Thatcham Youth, who also run Vision Youth Club on Friday evenings for 8-12 year olds.
So Vision Youth Club has a new programme of activities for the coming months and we've had some great things going on already with loads more coming up!
We have sand art, badge making, clay moddeling, scratch art & more! We are also teaming up with Heartstart Thatcham to deliver CPR & recovery position training to our young people, as well as Berkshire Youth to deliver a Fit 4 Youth course around healthy living.
We hope to see lots of you at the club over the next couple of months, new & old!
