Rotherham  The
Unofficial Website
Youth Clubs & Community Centres
 Some
of the kids around Rotherham are constantly moaning that there is nothing to do. So the boys
amongst them ride their motorbikes illegally, use their air rifles illegally and set off
fireworks to the annoyance of everybody. I'll admit that when it comes to drinking the
girls are as bad as the boys.
A few years ago I stopped two lads who were pelting the old feed store on my property with
bricks and stones because they were 'Bored'. I sent them down to Parkgate Youth and
Community Centre to see what was on offer. They didn't even know that it existed. A while
later the elder of the two thanked me for they had both found something that interested them
through the Youth Centre. This was closed for repairs in 2003 and has still not re-opened.
There is a sign up saying 'Closed until September' but they don't say which year or
which decade.
Until I came to do the work on this page I must admit that I had subscribed to the general
view that there is nothing for kids to do these days. As you can see I was wrong!

pilot's licence, amongst many other activities.
In my day, which you know was long and long ago, many of the churches used to run Youth
Clubs. I have had a good look at the churches in my area and only one seems to have activities
suitable for the young - I must admit that I was very interested in some of the trips on offer
but I'm just a tad more than 14. Other activities for youth can be found at:-
