The Friary Youth Club was set up in 1997 and catered for the needs of children from the Friary and surrounding areas. As the years went on, the demand for the club’s services grew and that saw the club open its doors to children from all over town. Today the club has a record number of volunteer leaders (43) and members (402). Indeed, it was only two weeks ago when it reached the milestone of over 400 members for this term, which began in September 2013 and will end at the end of May 2014.
