They meet on the first Sunday evening in each month for activities, discussions and to play games. They are involved within the community and had a cake stall for the Coronation Weekend and have undertaken a beach clean up. The church houses the Warton Community Library for adults and the young people wanted to set up a community library for their age group which they will run themselves. They were looking for funding to buy new and good second hand books suitable for 9-14 ages, which would be available to borrow free of charge for anyone from the village. Instead of simply making a grant award for this the 3R grants committee suggested that the group selects books (and book cases) from the 3R charity shop stock over a few months. As the shop sells paperback books for 50p and hardbacks for a £1 it meant the funds went much further and the group received many more books than then would have if they had bought them new. A lovely bit of reciprocal recycling!!
