Hi all - sorry for my lack of blogging. It has been a busy few months since my last post!
Hopefully this slightly larger update will keep you all in the loop!
Heres some of the key events the youth have been involved in:
- Designed and produced a Questionnaire about the current Youth amenities in Marlow. The survey they then carried out on nealry 100 young community members of Marlow to find out thir thoughts on marlows current activities for the youth - or lack of them. The quaestionnaire also allowed them to collect some vey usful demographic data and highlight the areas where marlow falls short in catering for the young folk of the town.
- Organised and hosted a HOLLYWOOD DISCO party - to raise awareness and pitch ideas about the crypt
Since these iniial fact finding and awareness gathering events we have had a fair few meetings discussing:
= What needs to happen to make the crypt workable
= the Items to go in the crypt
= The budget and funding for the work
= The layout and what the different areas of the crypt could be used for
I will post some pictures on here after this update
and this week we have started discussing the Code of conduct and the rules and
regulations that should govern the youngsters behaviour and use of the crypt.So some very important documents to be drawn up with the ideas and inoput coming from the youth forum steering group.
The Youth Forum has been very busy and we have had so much support and encourngement it has been great!
If anyone has any comments or feedback or even more information/help then please do contact myself on the Youth Forum mailbox:: youth@morethansunday.co.uk
I will endevour to provide more regular updates from now on.
Regards

Hi all. just a quick update and food for thought on the RULES AND REGS of the Crypt.
We are throwing around ideas on the following critial areas
- Staffing/supervision in the crypt. How will staff be identified and what will their role and responcibility be.
- How to monitor and keep tabs on the youth when they go to use the Toilet in the church.
-Use of CCTV and the "how" and the cost of the equiptment
-How to keep tabs on the ahe range and tailoring the rules for access to suit the varying ages we will be dealing with.. 11-18 year olds potentially. This is based around a register or tick sheet to see what people are in or out etc..
All good fun. The youth forum will meet in a few days hopefully to re-discuss the above and draw up some more solid general rules.
Thanks
Gareth
