Croydon youth service's new autumn programme, which contains information on what's happening around the borough, is now available.

The leaflet, available as hard copy or online, tells parents about youth clubs, specialist centres, groups, drop-in sessions and project work.

It highlights how children can get involved in music, theatre, dance, Duke of Edinburgh schemes, after-school clubs, sport, voluntary work and many other activities.

It also gives details of specialised activities and groups which provide weekly support for lesbian, gay and bisexual young people, teenage parent groups, youngsters with learning difficulties and disabilities.

Copies of the leaflet are available from youth centres, libraries and the council's one-stop receptions and can be downloaded from the web at croydon.gov.uk/education/youth.
