Young People

August 2013: As a result the very successful and enjoyable wine tasting on the 31st August, some very generous donations and a Capital Grant from South Gloucestershire Council we have enough money to install the roundabout illustrated. We hope the work will be completed by mid November. Thanks to all who supported us and made this possible.

We have a committee in Doynton (Doynton Children's Committee) that helps to plan and arrange activities for the children of of the village.  We would like to hear about any ideas or suggestions you may have so if you have 5 minutes can you please fill out this short survey. Thank you for your time.

May 2013: Doynton Children's Committee are seeking to raise money (around £2000) to pay for a roundabout like the one below.   We have currently applied for 3 grants and will let you know what happens.  Further fundraising events may take place this year so look out for more news on the website.
