The Area Committee has given approval to an application from Marple Youth Project CIC for a grant of £1,000 from the Ward Flexibility Funding Budget (£500 from Marple North and £500 from Marple South) towards the cost of running a youth club one night per week at the Marple Methodist Church based on Church Lane in Marple. The opening times will increase to 2 nights per week as time goes on and the workers gain confidence. There will be provisions for 30 young people maximum on each night that the youth club runs. There will be a minimum ratio of 1 to 8 volunteers to young people, each night that a session is run.
