It’s a state-of-the art, luxury van that will be manned by Project Managers, Naomi & Tom Brewer and Ark’s Youth Worker, Hannah Tibble, along with a volunteer team. Every Friday night The Pit Stop will be parked on the Oundle Recreation Ground and will be somewhere for young people to meet friends, hang out and enjoy free coffee and soft drinks.
Jonathan Ratcliffe, Trustee of Ark in Oundle, said: ‘Last year we asked Oundle teenagers what facilities they would most like to have in the town, and top of their list was a place where they could meet their friends and chill out. The Pit Stop project ticks all the right boxes – with the added bonus of being mobile. Later on we hope to be able to visit some of the outlying villages, and we will be using the van for other youth activities such as camping and climbing weekends, and running and cycling races locally and nationally.’
