Mobile Youth Clubs
(UK) When I used to work in the South West the local youth service had an old dilapidated coverted double-decker bus. It was a great resource for the rural areas and places with no 'youth premises' but died after a few years (as no funds was available to repair it).
Thanks to The Big Lottery Fund, Cambridgeshire Council have a brand spanking new youth bus with all the mod cons to play with.
The replacement bus offers many of the facilities that have proved successful and popular in the old bus such as games consoles, music and refreshments as well as state of the art improvements that include: 4 personal computers all with internet connection via a self-seeking satellite dish, professionally built interior with comfortable seating areas, access ramp to lower deck, video and music on both decks, a hot drinks machine and opportunities to take online courses in anything from vehicle maintenance to social care.
The bus was converted by South East Coachworks.
