This group has not met in the past few months, but will re-launch on Thursday the 21st of January from 2- 4pm.

· WAVE’s Mini Circus School 6-18yrs
Thursday 5.30 - 8.30pm
Every Thursday from 5.30pm – 8.30pm our younger members aged 6- 18yrs meet to do circus training, getting a chance to try everything from acrobatics, trapeze to juggling. If you are this age or you know someone who would be interested in coming along to this group please talk with Tricia, Jeanette or Laura. We will also be doing other activities, including drama with Laura and younger activities for the wee ones with Jeanette.
· The WAG (WAVE Adventure Group)
The goal of the WAVE Adventure Group programme is to complement all the above programmes by helping the youth members (aged 16+) of WAVE to experience and have access to outdoor activities such as surfing, kayaking, climbing etc and to achieve a qualification in them. WAG will begin 2010 by joining forces with the Monday Night Group to do a climbing qualification. If you are interested in this activity or any others that may happen in the next year please talk with Tricia to put your name down. The activities will be chosen by the group and will be organised every few months. There will also be opportunities to go away on residential to try other activities.
· One to One Befriending and Youth Counselling
If you know a young person aged up to 25 yrs who has suffered a trauma or could use some extra support at the moment, please get in touch with Tricia in the office to talk more about these services.
· One to One Educational Tuition and Support
The WAVE youth department can also provide support and help arrange educational tuition and support services for young people. Again please talk this through with Tricia to see if you are eligible.
