A Crawley-based youth group has raised hundreds of pounds to support people in need during the coronavirus pandemic.

The recently established group, The Voice of Youth, used funds to buy almost £600 worth of food which will be distributed among residents who need it most.

Abdullah Imtiyas, 15, is the founder of the group.

He said: “We are a group of around 20-30 boys aged from 9-18 who are in need of help from each other and the right guidance.

“Our group discusses different topics to help the youth of our community based in Crawley helping nationwide. We have recently started a fundraiser to encourage the youth to give back to our community and much more.”

On Thursday the food was delivered to Spotted: Crawley, a group which runs a community-based news page, and during the pandemic has been providing food parcels to elderly and vulnerable residents in Crawley.

Since its formation The Voice of Youth has tackled a number of issues which are important to young people living in Crawley, including bullying, sexual harassment, women’s rights, drug awareness, mental health and many more. The group currently meets online every Sunday. If you would like to find out more call 07727065610 or email [email protected]
