The rural area surrounding Shrewsbury Youth Team is based in Pontesbury, nr Shrewsbury.

The Youth Project covers a huge area of rural Shrewsbury, which includes villages such as, Minsterley, Ford, Nesscliffe, Bomere Heath, Bicton, Westbury, Hanwood, Cross Houses, Cressage and Atcham, to name but a few!!!

With help from young people from these rural areas we are currently developing the youth services for the Central Area Rural Team. 

Times and events may differ during school holidays 

Mondays @ Nesscliffe Village Hall 6.30 - 8.30pm.  A youth club session for young people from Nesscliffe and the surrounding villages aged Yr+.  All welcome.

Wednesdays in Minsterley. 7-9pm.  This is a new piece of work we are very excited about.  Look out for us in and about  Minsterley on the youth bus and on foot every Wednesday from the 3rd September.  We this then be establishing a youth club for Yr's 8 upwards from after October half term

Wednesdays in Cross Houses and Cressage.  This is an alternative youth club in both villages, commencing the 3rd September in the community hall in Cross Houses from 7-9pm and every other week from there after.  On the 10 September we will begin on the Youth Bus in Cressage and every other week from thereafter.  The youth Club sessions will be open to year 8 upwards.

Thursdays - SongMonster @ Mary Webb School, Shrewsbury from 3.30-5.30pm.  This isn't a session for the lite hearted, but come along anyway.  Songmonster has formed a samba drumming band called 'The Wildmonsters'. They have performed at local events such as Teenage Kicks.  The group is growing fast and is very exciting to be part of. Come along and join in - no music experience required. Everyone Welcome!!

The CART project also delivers a lot of work within Mary Webb School Pontesbury on various days, this includes alternative curriculum work, anger management sessions, 1:1 intervention work, workshops on school focus days and CHAT (Confidential, Help and Advice for Teenagers) every Thursday lunchtime on the Youth bus.  We are also looking at developing a Peer Mentors scheme to run alongside CHAT supporting younger members of the school with their transition to secondary school and any other issues they may encounter.  If you think you have the skills to become a Peer Mentor - We will be coming into school very soon recruiting young people to train them up in this role.  Interested speak to the Youth Workers on the CHAT bus!!!.
