Vision
Was sat in a tutorial this morning and there was a discussion going on about young people and how there isn't a lot to do for 14-18 year old in Croydon. Then my tutor told us about a project her mate started which has turned into a business. it's in yorkshire and basically they have a youth cafe and loads of projects the youth can get involved in -like boating and the like. Initially it was set up coz the crime rate was really high and the drug scene was getting way out of control. Now the youth are getting involved in this cafe and are helping to run it too and the crime and drugs have decreased.
Then I had this amazing vision that I could set up a youth cafe in Croydon with katherine. She's always wanted a coffee shop, so we could bake together and do coffee-ness and we could have an amazing youth cafe that loads of young people from croydon would come to and the whole of croydon could get transformed.
I know this is quite an out there idea, but I'm not gonna totally disregard it!

i say you should do it!! for real. i think its honestly such a good idea. youth need stuff to do, and if you come up with something cool for them to do, somewhere for them to hang out, for them to be in a good environment and with good people and such... thats such an awesome idea. it would be a lot of work... but i think you could do it. so dont disregard it, not at all. ill pray that you have some wisdom and such. :)
Go for it good idea.
