Youth Café Success


The Youth Café was launched in 2005 and has been a tremendous success with over 45 young people using it on a weekly basis. The feedback from the young people has been very positive, especially around the central location of the facility, and the fact that the café is exclusively for that age group during the hours of 7.30-10.00pm on a Friday evening - they are already planning theme evenings such as karaoke.
The Café is based at The Good Taste Coffee Shop in Camberley High Street, every Friday from 7.30pm-10.00pm, with youth workers on hand in the café during the evening.

However, due to half term and factors outside the Council’s control, the Café will be closed on Friday 17th February and Friday 3rd March 2006.

Safer Surrey Heath is the Surrey Heath Crime & Disorder Reduction Partnership which is a joint venture between Surrey Police, Surrey Heath Borough Council and Surrey County Council.
