A youth event to raise money for the town mayor’s charity was cancelled due to lack of interested youngsters to take part.
Spotlight on Youth, which was due to take place last Saturday at The Elgiva to raise funds for The Pepper Foundation, was going showcase the talents of young people from the area. Mayor Alison Pirouet said the event could not be rearranged before her role ends in May. Mrs Pirouet said: “We had some groups to do it but it was getting the parents to back the kids, getting them down there and to support them.” Funds from a black tie ball due to be held at the end of April will go towards the cause, she added.
