A KIDS group has launched an urgent appeal to find a new youth leader.
The Doves Youth Group - which is based in Hucknall - caters for Junior School Children aged between seven and eleven.
There are plans to expand the group to involve more children, but this will not be possible unless another adult supervisor can be found.
Helen Chadwick (correct), who at the moment is the group's sole leader, said "We currently have around twelve to fifteen kids but more are interested in joining."
"This will not be possible unless we find another youth leader, as the numbers would be too great." she added.
The group meets on Wednesday evenings in the St Mary Magdalene Church on Ogle Street, from 6pm to 7pm. It has been running for six years.
Despite being based in a church, the group is not overly religious according to Mrs Chadwick. Small prayers are held but the main activities are painting, singing, arts and craftwork.
In recent years the group has also been involved in community projects. They assisted in the building of a wildlife garden in the churchyard and have also taken part in Hucknall's Christmas carnivals.
Parent Anne Jackson sends her son Jack, (10), to the group's meetings. "Jack really enjoys the sessions. He makes lots of friends and gets involved with all sorts of different activities." she said.
"It would be a great shame if other kids don't get the chance to benefit in the same way."
Mrs Chadwick believes that the role would suit someone who is interested in kids and looking to put something back into the community. However she is conscious that volunteers are likely to be in short supply.
