FUTURE OF THE PHOENIX YOUTH PROJECT

Early day motion 408, tabled 27 June 2005 by Lord Jackson of Peterborough (Conservative). Signed by 6 members.

That this House notes the excellent work done by the Phoenix Youth Project in the Westwood and Ravensthorpe areas of Peterborough, two of the most disadvantaged in East Anglia; notes that it has been established for 15 years; further notes that its provision of youth facilities in the area is badly needed both for improving the lives of young people aged 10 to 25 years and for promoting better community spirit; is concerned that the funding for the project is coming to an end; and calls upon the Government to examine possible funding streams to enable this wholly worthwhile project to continue.
