Youth club provision does not come cheap
• IF you were one of the millions of people watching Children In Need or the previews last week, you will have seen young people from a Gospel Oak youth club on the screen several times.
Gospel Oak has seen huge changes in recent years. An area once noted for its elderly population now has a large number of young people and few facilities for them.
GOAL (Gospel Oak Action Link) and its partner Queens Crescent Community Association (QCCA) aims to provide young people in Gospel Oak with somewhere to go, and a wide range of interesting activities to do.
We currently offer a Monday night (seniors 13 to 19-year- olds) youth club, a young womens’ Tuesday night, a Wednesday Junior Club (eight to 13), a Thursday night multisports and a Friday youth club for seniors and juniors.
We run a Saturday morning multisports and hope to open a Saturday night Youth Club soon.
None of this comes cheap, and this financial year we have received no financial support from Camden Council for day-to-day running of our weekly clubs.
We hope that local businesses will support us and that perhaps next year we will have some financial support for this work from Camden Council.

Chairman, GOAL, NW3
