Freshwater Parish Council have this week approved a community grant of £3,000 to West Wight Churches Youth Project.
West Wight Churches Youth Project, which has been running for ten years, brings young people together and connects them with others their own age.
The project was formed from a partnership between Churches Together West Wight and Isle of Wight Youth for Christ.
The funding from the parish Council will go towards youth group trips to JR Zone, Skates, Headhunters, Resound Youth Event in Dorset and Dreaming the Impossible Festival.
It will also help with refreshments and updating equipment such as Xbox controllers, board games and table tennis bats.
Freshwater Parish Council Chair Cllr Emma Cox and Chair of Finance Cllr Natalie Thomas were invited to come along to a drop in evening and see what happens at the youth club.
Natalie said:
"As a local Freshwater mum it is amazing we have such a wonderful youth provision available in the west wight.
"My daughter is really enjoying the time and space to connect with her friends out of school."
