Corfe Mullen Youth Centre is at risk of having its funding stopped or reduced by Dorset County Council.

This youth facility, in Dorset's largest (and growing) village, is vital in the development of its children. As a non-uniformed youth organisation, the centre offers a range of age groups a place to go and take part in various activities, ranging from social nights, to a 'Tall Ships Experience' recently and an ongoing Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme. The centre offers an alternative to youth groups that require the purchase of a uniform and term fees, therefore making it an inclusive group, crossing social divides and encouraging integration of all creeds, abilities or disabilities, religions and sexual orientations.

We, the undersigned, call upon Dorset County Council to confirm continued and full funding of the Corfe Mullen Youth Centre, at the earliest opportunity.
