Contents

In the course of the three years of the North-East Derbyshire Project and the longer period of the preparation of this book I have received help and encouragement from many people. It is impossible for me to express adequately my gratitude to all those from whom help has been received. I should, however, like to acknowledge my debt to the following bodies and groups: The project management committee, the King George V Jubilee Trust, the development committee of the National Association of Youth Clubs, the youth service staff of north-east Derbyshire, the ten students from the youth work course of Matlock College of Education who conducted the survey in Minton in 1968.

I should also like to express my particular thanks to the following individuals: Mr D. Anthony, Mr E. Bourne, Lt Col. R. T. Brain, Mr M. Farrant, Mr E. Joyce, Mrs M. Leigh, Dr C. S. Smith, Mr B. Stewart, Dr W. D. Wall and to Mr John Haines, the consultant to the project.

The young people mentioned in the studies in this book are all given fictitious names and fictitious initials. In no case are the initials or names used those of the real young people with whom the studies were concerned. The names of the places in which special studies were conducted are also fictitious. If there are real places with these names they are not therefore the places referred to in this book.

J.L.

Most of the practical work for this book was carried out during the years 19669 as part of a project sponsored jointly by the National Association of Youth Clubs and Derbyshire Education Committee with the financial backing of the King George V Jubilee Trust. The starting point for the project was concern over the increasing absence of young adults from youth service and adult education provision. I was appointed for three years with very wide terms of reference to examine this situation and to report fully to my employing bodies.

I should say immediately that this book is not a report of that project nor is it limited to a consideration of the youth service or a particular age group. Indeed the only discussion of the position of young adults in youth clubs occurs in the final chapter.

As I immersed myself in the problem I had been set I became increasingly aware of the whole range of factors which relate to leisure provision and the service making such provision. Questions about education and leisure are inevitably bound up with questions about the sort of society we live in and that to which we aspire. Such questions cannot be answered but consideration of them must increasingly concern and involve all who work in schools, youth service and adult education. My aim in writing this book is to stimulate and add to the debate.

Throughout the period of the project and the writing of this book questions about leisure provision, continuing education and community development have been very much in the air. It has been an exciting and stimulating period in which to be working in this field.
