Steve Price of Avon Youth Club entertains us with his story and music
Wednesday 17th June 2026
Those members who were unable to attend the meeting today missed an exceptional meeting.
David Sutton had invited Steve Price, the chairman of the Avon Youth Club, to come and talk to us. It was not a dry 'fact and figures about the good work that the Club does talk' although that was clear throughout. Steve bought it to life and illustrated how our support of the Club is well worth while.

How the Wave Project helps young people with mental health problems
Wednesday 20th May 2026
What an inspirational presentation we received today from Jo Sleep and Mark Lambert, volunteers at the Wave Project, a charity which helps many of the 1 in 5 children in the UK who struggle with their social, emotional or mental health and over 500,000 are still waiting for support.
Jo, a NHS mental health worker and Mark, a government communications analyst, verbally painted vivid pictures of their experiences volunteering to promote this charity. We’re on a mission to change that and in 2026, we’re marking 15 years of changing young lives through Surf Therapy.
