Question 1:
A new initiative is to launch at Wilberforce Centre to help youngster discover their potential and provide a safe environment for their personal development.
The scheme is part of the improvement of Eddingham Cathedral, Eddingham, and its authorities have submitted a bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund for £100,000 to start a major revamp.
David Cressy, Provost at Cathedral, said about youngsters: “We shall establish their needs and aspirations and set up projects that will empower them to shape their own future.”
According to him, the Cathedral is frequently under attack by disenchanted or alienated youngsters and the latest incident will cost them more than £2,000 to put things right.
He said youngsters such as these need the right encouragement to become good citizens.
The Rev Nigel Bankes, director of the Wilberforce Centre, said: “We have already made various attempts to establish worthwhile contacts with some of the young people who gather in the cathedral precinct but a more concerted effort is required, backed up by improved facilities at the centre.
We hope these will come with the Lottery Fund project.”
If the project is successful, as Mr Cressy said, there will be a possible £4million refurbishment which will be directed at the Grade One listed building and the services it offers to the community.
Regarding people's thoughts to improve the Cathedral, among ideas already mooted are under-floor heating and new seats, other essential basics are a complete clean and re-wiring, as well as the fabric of the building.
Mrs Olive Marchant, who is a cabinet member for education at Eddingham Council, said: “the cathedral authorities will have our full support in developing and extending their outreach projects.”
Colonel Michael Foxworth, chairman of the Friends of Cathedral, said: “The bid for a lottery grant if it is successful, will only be the beginning.
“We will still face a huge challenge to find the necessary money for all the work that will be required.”
