YOUNGSTERS from Thetford spent a fun-filled day taking part in various activities thanks to special funding.
The Little Yoof group meets once a week at Fulmerstone Church on the Barnham Cross Estate, where the children, between 10 and 14-years-old, earn points for good behaviour, regular attendance and assisting the group.
These they chose to put towards an adventure day out at Mile Bottom Scout site, where they were treated to a barbecue at the end of the day.
Terry Jermy, who co-ordinates the group on behalf of Thetford Community Association, said: “The behaviour of the young people on the day was exemplary.

Funding for the trip came from the Norfolk Community Foundation using funded provided by the Shadwell Estate.
