People are always complaining about teenagers being on the street and never having anywhere to go. People are always saying why don't they do something with their lives, something worthwhile. People are always saying things but not realising what's going on around them. Our YOUTH CLUBS are getting closed down. But you want us to something worthwhile with our lives but then close down good FREE opportunitys for us to learn or gain any new techniques and experience. I'd being attending my youth club for four years I'd learnt so many great worth while things: I learnt how to be confident and sing in front of big crowds , I learnt how to play guitar. I learnt how to use a proffesioanl camera effectively. My youth club has done a lot for me and many others.. .Is it fair to take it away? Will it ever be the same .. Ask yourself what will life be like the for teens in 2019? What will the world be like then. This youth club has been running for years and I'm not only asking for my youth club to be open but the good ones that have been shut down. You're closing down youth clubs that are the ones keeing most teens of motivated I know because I am on them. Please don't take my youth club. Don't take my voice. Teens should matter too.

I have spent this week gathering stories from other members who have seen their own clubs disappear. These experiences confirm that the loss of these spaces is not an isolated event but a pattern that leaves many young people without a home for their ambitions. I am working to compile these accounts into a formal report to present to the local council.

Seeing this kind of momentum confirms that many people recognize the importance of these spaces for our growth. It is heartening to know that my experiences at the club resonate with so many others who value the potential of our youth.

Personally, I love this youth centre, it's the only youth centre I attend where I feel comfortable. I do regular weekly classes there, and I always learn something new. Everyone gets along here, this shouldn't get closed down!

This youth group should stay open for the sake of the youths. This youth group helped me stay out of my anti social environment and delevlop some important life skills at the same time. I believe that there are youths out there that are on the streets because they have to be and not because they want to and with all these FREE youth group closing down they have no where else to go.

Yes yes YES youth clubs are extremely important. I know as I'm a youth club user as well and currently campaigning for the same cause @ibyfc on twitter and 'if but' on facebook

Stop closing down youth centres. They are helping young adults experience new things and feel at peace!
