OUTWARD BOUND

Figures issues to councillors show the following attendances between mid-March and mid-June at sessions of the 3Bs Youth Project:
Brigg: 159 attendances and 64 registered youths.
Barnetby: 366 attendances and 70 registered youths.
Broughton: 258 attendances and 82 registered youths.
These were given in a report by Marie Bailey, play development officer, North Lincolnshire Council.
The Humberside Night Challenge proved a real success for the 3Bs team. They were joint winners and captain Joe Wilkinson was deemed the best in his role, winning a place on a three-week outward bound training course.
Nine youths from the 3Bs group helped voluntarily with the Brigg Spring Clean and youngsters supported the official opening of the refurbished Woodbine Park, off South View Avenue.
Wayne Pigott, senior street leader with the 3Bs Project, said he was happy to report an increase in the number of girls taking part in activities, mainly as a result of the purchase of tennis equipment.
Marie Bailey told councillors on the joint committee which oversees the project that she would like to know how young people's lives had changed as a result of being on the project. This could be a long-term initiative.
Brigg Town Council is now actively seeking new partners, as well as the funding required to substain the project from July 2011. Councillor heard there was was a possibility of further funding from the Big Lottery to sustain projects already undertaken.
