The Carroll Youth Centre has been meeting the needs
of the young people aged 5 to 21 in Stanmore, Winchester
for nearly ten years.
Children’s Fund money provided a full time Children’s
Youth worker with specific responsibility to work with
young people in the age range 5 to 13 years old to increase
their social recreation and education opportunities.
Establishing the post enabled activities to be provided
such as
| • |
Creativity and Fun, developing new on site activities |
| • |
Home School Link s- mentoring services in two
Schools in St Lukes ward, Winchester. |
| • |
Health and Well being, developing sports and healthy
lifestyles |
The project has been successful in the first year of
operation:

number of children accessing the centre has increased |
| • |
Home school links have been successful |
| • |

risk pupils |

the scheme.
