SHILBOTTLE CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE'S PROJECT
The charity provides advice, support and activities for babies, children and young people in Shilbottle and the surrounding areas. This is achieved through a toddlers session and youth sessions based at the community hall and in the community. We look to provide trips out and other activities for young people.
