Last Saturday, Wombourne Youth Action Team (WYAT) held its second under 18’s disco, at the Wombourne Youth Centre. The Halloween themed disco was attended by about 40 young people aged between 12 and 18. The aim of the disco was to provide entertainment for young people in the village. The event was funded by a grant received by the group earlier this year from the V Project. A non-alcoholic bar was provided by Staffordshire Trading Standards, who also spoke to those in attendance about alcohol related issues. There was also an inflatable pole joust and other activities available.
PCSO Lorraine commented “the Disco has been well organised by the WYAT. It is a thing that should happen more often for Wombourne’s young people”. The next event organised by the group will be a Christmas Disco on 8th December. Tickets will be on sale very shortly around the village. For more information, visit www.wyat.co.uk
