Youngsters 'Chillout' at half-term

Youngsters were chilling out at special sport and activity sessions during the half-term holiday in Stafford and Stone.  The five-day event was coordinated by the Leisure Services, Sport Development team at Stafford Borough Council.


The fun events were open to youngsters aged between 13 and 17 years from Monday 11 to Thursday 14 February at Riverside Recreation Centre, and on Friday 15 February at Alleyne’s Sports Centre in Stone – and all activities were free of charge. 

 

Gladiator duel, circus skills and a rodeo bull were just some of the activities on offer, as well as the more traditional sporting and artistic elements. 


A full timetable of the activities available, can be viewed at www.chillout-youth.co.uk 
 

 

“Chillout has proved very popular before and the Sports Development team were keen to build on the success of previous events, continuing to offer activities to cover sports, arts and straight forward fun sessions.  There really was something there for everyone,” said Mike Smith, Cabinet Member for Leisure.

Also on hand were staff and advisors from T3 (offering support & advice on alcohol and drugs related issues) and the Staffordshire Youth Service offering information and confidential advice to anyone looking for support.

 

There was a wide range of activity to keep the teenagers active and all the sessions were led by fully-qualified staff.

  

Other sessions on offer included breakdance, swimming and casualty make-up. There were special ‘Chillout rooms’ where youngsters could meet their friends, listen to music and play on computer consoles.


None of these activities would have been able to take place without funding from the Stafford Borough Community Safety Partnership, or without the support of Staffordshire Youth Service and T3.

 

Anyone who would like more details on the Sports Development team’s sporting programme through out the year, should contact Kath Fenn of Stafford Borough Council Sports Development on 01785 619515 or log-on to the website www.staffordbc.gov.uk/sportsdevelopment for details.
