We have several exciting things running during June 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.
On May 27th our Vision Youth Club for 8-12 year olds joined the corn exchange for their tower project. Our young people spent the evening putting together boxes that would be used to build the tower in the market place. We joined acclaimed French artist Olivier Grossetête and his team to put together parts of a giant cardboard replica of Donnington Castle in Newbury's town centre on Sunday 29 May.
This Friday (May 27th) Vision Youth Club is going to be joining the Corn Exchange at their 101 Creation Space to take part in the tower project. We will be helping do some preperation work to put parts of the tower together so that us and others from the community can join acclaimed French artist Olivier Grossetête and his team to create a giant cardboard replica of Donnington Castle in Newbury's town centre on Sunday 29 May.

Thatcham Youth works in partnership with West Berkshire Council to facilitate use of Moorside Community Centre by the local community. The centre is available to hire for a variety of functions:
And a great thing about hiring Moorside is that the revenue that Thatcham Youth recieve goes directly into providing youth provision in Thatcham. So by hiring out Moorside you are helping to fund our youth provision.
West Berkshire Council is holding another special driving experience day for young drivers on Thursday 2nd June at the Madejski Stadium, Reading from 9.30am - 4.30pm*.
If you're aged between 15 and 19 years old, you can get behind the wheel for a driving lesson and learn some of the vital skills you need to become a driver.
