Welcome to the Sedburgh Club website

From 20 youngsters in a room over a baker's shop to a community centre with 350 members, the Sedbergh Club for Young People in Odsal, Bradford, is now preparing a National Lottery bid to help finance a £2.75 million rebuilding programme.
The centre is in constant use, with a youth club three evenings a week and training sessions for football, rugby, baseball and boxing. Other facilities include snooker tables, IT equipment, open discussion groups and club holidays.
And during the day, personal development sessions by the Joint Action Service (JAS) help youngsters who have played truant or missed schooling rebuild their confidence and return to the classroom. Last year the service introduced 140 youngsters back to full-time education.
JAS is just one of many youth agencies who work hand-in-hand with the centre. And the club already has 35 others knocking on the door of the proposed £2.75 million sports and youth centre, such as Bradford Bulls' community programme and Bradford College.
The idea, says Brian Sanderson of Marketing First, the Bradford and Leeds-based firm in charge of the project, is to make the new centre a 'one-stop shop' for all youths.
He said: "Sport transcends barriers - cultural, financial, racial. People in Bradford have seen the value of this club as a non-threatening environment and a positive role model.
"The centre is bang in the middle of five large estates but it's non-territorial.
"We let kids wander around the estates at night and wonder why they get into trouble. If we get them into the club, anything's possible."
An initial application to the Sports Lottery Fund for the new building was made earlier this year but members will have to raise half the money themselves to get the project off the ground.
Mr Sanderson said: "To get capital for the new building is the most difficult and we have to match 50 per cent of the cost. One of the crucial things is finding other funds from public partners as well as private ones."
Plans for the new centre include five new sports fields, an indoor sports hall and bar area with family rooms.
But even with its cracked tarmac pitches and limited space, the present club scores a hit with the most important people - the young.
The centre already works in partnership with the police, youth, social and education services to combat youth crime, drugs and social exclusion.
New projects for the centre include an art programme as part of the Safe Cities Initiative, a partnership with the Royds Community Association and Bradford Bulls' use of the new pitches for its community programme, which helps about 2,600 children in Bradford.
