Members at the Embassy Youth Centre have expressed their wishes for a larger selection of hot food to be available in the evenings. Our new menu now includes toasties, pasta dishes and nacho’s. We are also starting a cooking project teaching members how to cook simple, nutritional meals from scratch from the vegetable peeling through to the dishing up, (and hopefully some clearing away.) Check back soon to see how the project goes.
Ten young people from the Embassy Youth Centre took part in a two day mask making workshop where they used lots of different materials to create masks for the Arts Festivals “Grand Grotesque Parade,” held at the end of September in the Town Centre.

Tensions were high last Thursday at the Henry Brown Youth Centre as our girls prepared to strut their stuff down the catwalk in front of a sold out audience. The girls used their time wisely prior to the show to touch up their makeup, adjust their gowns and prepare themselves for the big moment. With their chosen theme of “sophistication,” the girls looked great and did the Embassy proud. It was hard to believe that all three outfits were bought and customised...

Donated items include kitchen gadgets, books, DVD, clothes, children’s toys, general bric-a-brac and many more....
