Important News about The Kenilworth Centre

The announced cuts in the Warwickshire County Council Youth Service could lead to Kenilworth's Youth and Community Centre being closed. The current management committee believe that this would be a tremendous loss for the whole  Kenilworth community, especially its young people and users of the centre like the Spring Playgroup. We are not prepared to stand by and see that happen.

Three in four youth centres face the axe under cuts programme

THE SHOCKING depth of cuts to youth services could see three quarters of south Warwickshire’s youth centres axed by the county council. Three centres – Campion Youth Wing in Sydenham Drive, Kenilworth Youth and Community Centre in Abbey End, and Warwick Youth and Community Centre in Coten End – face the chop. Services for young people which are focused mainly on leisure activities are being targeted, with the council claiming these are not its responsibility. Management of these will either be transferred to the voluntary sector and local communities, or the buildings will be sold off. 

A public meeting is being held at Kenilworth Youth Centre, on Monday April 18 between 6.30pm and 8.30pm, for people to have their say.
