Norfolk County Council Childrens Services have launched a new web based service -- "Things To Do" -- its a database full of activities in Norfolk for young people in the 13-19 ish age range. It's free to search for activities and free to put activities on. If your activity or club welcomes young people please make sure you are listed. The activity might normally be attended by adults but must be open to young people. So; camera clubs, flower arranging, dog training, hiking, reading groups and yoga can all go on together with the skate parks, martial arts and youth clubs. You can put restrictions on e.g. a scalextric club says "under 16's must bring an adult". If you are a young person please make sure we have listed the activities you like. It might be a café or a club or something completely different. To search for "Things To Do" go to www.norfolkblurb.co.uk/thingstodo or see the flyer.
