I’ve just heard that earlier this week the Youth Development Service succeeded in appointing a full-time Youth Worker for the west of Woking, who will be based at Lakers Youth Centre.

As well as leading the work there, they will supervise Woking Youth Arts Centre (WYAC)in Knaphill. (Although I think if there were a higher level of staffing at WYAC it could be even more fully used, it does have staff in post, so it shouldn’t be a matter of asking the newcomer to do more than one job.)

Inevitably it will take some time to get them here, but they should be in post not too long after Christmas.
