SUMMARY:Two ground-breaking Quaker projects in Pontefract\, West Yorkshire
DESCRIPTION:The event will take place on Harropwell Lane\, Pontefract\, and will look at a project which aimed to help boys who were reluctant to go to school\, and another project working with people on probation. \nThe project which was about helping reluctant school attenders involved building a centre\, and then organising activities within it. Over the years the project changed\, but the building is still there and is known as Pontefract Family Centre. \nThe project which involved working with people on probation\, developed a scheme whereby a couple of houses were available. People who had been released from prison\, would live in these houses for a specific amount of time\, learning to look after themselves again\, and they could also go to the probation centre for support\, for social contact\, and to meet their probation officers. \nPontefract Quaker Meeting was heavily involved in both projects. After hearing about the projects\, we will walk back to the Meeting House\, and have refreshments. \nThis free event is part of Heritage Open Day \nBooking information\n\nPre-booking requirement: Pre-booking preferred\nBooking conditions: If you haven’t been able to pre-book\, just turn up on the day. We will be delighted to see you! Whilst we anticipate the main event will take an hour\, the walk up to the Meeting House and refreshments will add another hour\, but this is optional.\nBooking contact name: Lynda Storey\nBooking telephone number: +447906182430\nBooking email: wlmstorey@yahoo.co.uk\n\nAccessibility details\nHarropwell Lane is reasonably accessible by wheelchair\, although it should be noted that the first part of the lane is downhill.
