Tamworth Prince’s Trust volunteers in plea for challenge

A TEAM of Tamworth young people are ready to role up their sleeves and benefit the community – all they need now is a project to tackle!

The Prince’s Trust has embarked on many successful projects in the town, including refurbishing a garden at the George Bryan Centre, sprucing up grounds of sheltered housing in Autumn Close and renovating Tamworth Canoe Club.

1. ​

   Earlier this year the Prince’s Trust completed two weeks at Birds Bush Primary School, in Belgrave, working on the school’s Wildlife Garden which had become overgrown. Now they need some new challenges. TS9905-3436TH 160312

But now the team of 16 to 25 year olds need a raft of new challenges to complete in 2013.

Ruth Sabin, Prince’s Trust Team Leader in Tamworth, said: “We’ve had many successful projects in Tamworth and we’re on the look out for more.

“The group have to fund-raise to meet the costs, and then work together to complete the project.”

Suggestions are needed for one-day projects on;

January 31, 2013

May 30, 2013

September 19, 2013

And two-week long projects from;

February 25 until March 8

June 24 until July 5

October 14 until October 25.

Project suggestions must have a finite task to meet a community need and have a lasting impact in the community.

The project is driven by the young people and is solely owned by the team in terms of its administration, organisation and management.

The Prince’s Trust team has in the past tackled landscaping and structural work of residential gardens, renovating buildings for new purposes, for example a coffee shop, mural and artwork of nurseries and schools.
