Local young people’s charity CYP provides 5,000 opportunities every year for young people to do something productive and self developing.  They are now working to refurbish the totally unique football court on Vibart Walk (map here – walk up Delhi Street – ball court is at other end of Vibart Walk at junction with Outram Place).

The court has six goals on the walls and is used by local young people for a unique form of football with its own complex rules.  A sort of Kings Cross Wall Game, without the top hats.

CYP supported by Homes for Islington are going to turn this neglected, depressing sunken public space into a more colourful and uplifting youth space by involving young people in its design.  Work wil begin on Monday 18th and continue for three days – drop in and have a look.

To support CYP you can donate by clicking here for a secure online donation service run by Co-op bank and Charity Choice.  No amount is too small, nor too big.  You could donate the amount you have saved on sunscreen this year.  You can contact Antonia at CYP here.
