Video NationYou are in: Suffolk > People > Video Nation > There IS something to do ![]() Sam and Lizzie There IS something to doOne complaint we often hear from teenagers is that 'There's nothing to do!' However, a pair of 15 year olds from Sudbury say that's not the case and they can't understand people who claim there are no facilities for them.

One of the subjects being tackled across the UK is how clubs and societies provide a social infrastructure in young lives. What makes some people join a youth club while others hang out on the streets - creating a perception that they must be involved in anti-social behaviour such as drinking and vandalism. Sam and Lizzie both go to the Eden's Project in Sudbury town centre. It's run by Christians, but the managers say it's not evangelical and they don't preach, but there is a Christian side to things if you want to explore the faith. The stated aim is to provide a secure place for hundreds of youngsters to go to in the evening - providing them with pool, computers and computer games, a cafe, music workshops and much more. ![]() The film looks why they choose to go to an organised youth club, while others avoid such places even when it's very cheap to join.
