Make it a Fab Feb this half-term holiday

If you're aged 11 to 19 it's set to be a Fab Feb for you! Wyre Forest District Council in partnership with the Youth Service has secured funding from Wyre Forest Community Safety Partnership to organise loads of free activities for you and your friends including free swimming, luge racing, football, dodgeball, dance and trampolining. The Fab Feb week will conclude with a party at Kidderminster Youth House on the Friday evening with food, music, a bucking bronco, and a bouncy castle!

There's also the chance to win a trip to the Snowdome in Tamworth for an evening of fun on the toboggan slopes with a friend.

Helen Dyke, Chair of Wyre Forest Community Safety Partnership said,

"The Fab Feb activities are a great way for friends to get together and have some fun. Research shows that anti-social behaviour can be averted by providing fun and entertaining activities for young people. We've been proactive in organising these events and hope there will be a good take up from young people in the district."

Throughout the week, free transport will be available to most activities. A member of either WFDC or Youth Service staff will be on the coach to and from activities and any safety equipment required for the activities will be provided free of charge.

Some activities have restricted numbers so places will be offered on a first come, first served basis. Bookings can be made by either telephoning 01562 732917 or 01562 732970 between 9.00am – 4.00 pm or email Penny Hamilton-Gray
