Grundisburgh Youth Club

Grundisburgh Youth Club - WELCOME

Grundisburgh Youth club (GYC) is run by and for the young people of Grundisburgh, Culpho & Burgh villages. Our young people have the major say in the way the club is run, supported by professional staff and dedicated volunteers. The club was started with the 'aims to reduce the isolation of young people living in or near Grundisburgh by providing a club where they can meet in safety in a welcoming environment to enjoy a range of activities and a place where they can meet their friends.' 

The club is financed by the collection of membership and subscriptions fees. While these fees are important, they alone will only cover a small portion of the amount needed to run the club week by week. It is for this reason that we need to continually seek support from funding bodies, charitable foundations and the local community.

What can you expect at the club?

When you arrive you will be made very welcome. The club will provide you with the opportunity for fun activities, good laughs, meaningful discussions, informal social education and the chance to just chill out and chat with existing friends and hopefully new ones. We are continually trying to improve provision. At the moment we have the the following activities available. In winter we have music, films, tuck-shop, table tennis, mini-football, indoor hockey, table football, pool/snooker, air-hoc, X-box, and PS2. In addition in the summer (the lighter nights) we can use the village playing field. Cricket, football, rounders and wide-games are all played regularly. If you can think of other games to play we are always open to suggestion. Extra curricular activities have included dress making, mobile phone cover making, hair braiding, nail painting, necklace and Bracelet making, make-over nights, card making, film nights, quiz nights, designing and making a modern day nativity set for display at Christmas. There have been more but I just can't remember them all. For club dates and further information please see our NEWSLETTER.

A recent addition to the regular GYC club night programme is the 'Street-dance' girls group called 'silhouette' which meets regularly on Thursday nights in the village pavilion. They have already made two public performances and performed amazingly well.

End of term trips and themed nights?

We regularly add to an already busy evening by providing the materials to make some food. Past events have included a film night, pizza night, chocolate fountains with fresh fruit and marshmallows, giant banana split and a smoothie making evening. The trips we have undertaken as a club have included ten-pin bowling, tobogganing, two weeks living as an iron age man/woman, learning the skills to survive and African Adventure with team games, walks, tasks, rope walking and archery. What new events we can do in the future is only limited by your imagination.
