Location: Canon Park Pavilion, Canon Park, Berkeley, Glos What we're looking for: - A new identity for Berkeley Youth Club to demonstrate a fresh start - Active and ongoing consultation with young people in Berkeley in order for them to lead the provision, and to feedback on the provision - this should be done in collaboration with Stroud District Council's Youth Service as they facilitate Berkeley Vale Youth Forum.
