We are the local Youth Work Team from The Wayz Youth Centre. Our team will ALWAYS be branded in uniform and hold ID badges on them. We are pleased to be working in partnership with Crowthorne Parish Council, who fully to commit to young people within the local community and our approach to street-based youth work. As part of our work, we liaise with services to support the safety, engagement and opportunities for young people in Crowthorne.
Our focus is to be within the community and speak to young people without the use of a building or activity and takes place where young people "are at" both geographically and developmentally. It delivers informal and social education and addresses whatever needs are presented to or perceived by the youth worker. As part of this we will also run a range of activities for young people as well as create trips and events.
- Education and encourage both young people and the community to recognise this and promote this understanding being demonstrated across those communities through behaviours, perceptions and experiences.
- Connect and engage with young people away from centres, within their own community, a place where they are familiar and more comfortable.
- Detached youth work is like and approached work, where the engagement is voluntary. Engagement, respect and relationships will develop over time and it is important establish positive relationships and often work at the interest and pace of the group or individuals.
- Being a bridge between young people and community or partner-based opportunities for them to engage in.
- Identify the individual and collective needs of young people within that area and promote and empower a positive youth voice.
- Challenge behaviour of young people and through discussion and reflection promote social education and understanding for the young people. It is the role of the worker to encourage positive engagement and potentially mediate between Young People and local agencies and police to prevent negative labelling and behaviours occurring or developing. Youth worker to encourage youth voice.

Councillor Doreen Dye was a local parish councillor for many years with a passion for conservation and wildlife. She asked that her fellow councillors and Circle Hill trustees remember her by planting a native hornbeam, which was one of her favourite trees.
In January, her council colleagues met, and with the help of the Bracknell Conservation Volunteers, planted 6 hornbeam trees in the Walter Recreation Ground and Circle Hill.
For more information about Doreen see the Wokingham Without Parish Council website.
Thanks go to Cala Homes for the new village defib and bleed kit located at The Prince.
In December, landlord Jay and Crowthorne Parish Council chairman Cllr Bob Wade, inspected the village’s sixth defib and fourth bleed kit, both of which are available to all 24/7.
Bob said "We are very lucky to have this. It is fully automatic so anyone can have a go and be confident that they can do no harm. I urge anyone that lives or works in the area to make sure they know where this amazing box of kit is, so they are ready in the event of an emergency."
Please ask at The Prince or Crowthorne Parish Council if you are interested in attending a free, one hour, defibrillator awareness course with the local charity Thames Valley Heartbeat.
