Recently a team a local young people from the Millennium Volunteers did a sponsored paint in West End. Eastleigh Borough Council sponsored them to paint railings in High Street, decorate at Merlyn House, and paint the Hilldene Centre Gates.
These young people did a great job and what are they going to do with their hard earned cash you may ask ? Well it’s not party the night away, as some might think. They are actually raising funds to take disabled people for a good day out at the Queen Elizabeth Centre.

Millennium Volunteers are young people who give up their free time to help their local communities. You might find them coaching a school football team, working at a community radio station or helping create a garden for local residents. In fact in a great variety projects to benefit the community.
The next big question what can we all do to for the young people in West End ?
There are currently plans to improve facilities for the young people in West End at Barnsland Recreation Ground, Moorgreen Recreation Ground and at Townhill Junior School in out of school hour periods. Hopefully in the coming months I will be able to report some improvement.
If you have any views on ideas that would improve the possible activities for the young people in West End then please let me know.
