A charity has been awarded a council cash grant to provide therapeutic services for troubled young people in Watford.
SignPost, which is based in St Mary's Churchyard, off High Street, has been given £350 by Hertfordshire County Council.
The money will help towards the cost of running the programme which will take place one evening a week for eight weeks and is open to parents with children aged 11 and 18.
The money has come from the council’s locality budget.

What exactly does this charity do? What does the eight-week programme do for either the kids or their parents? What sort of things does the programme address, given that the parents are probably of fairly low intellect anyway?
What a load of politically correct old toffee! If the kids need help, then clearly the parents are to blame because they are inadequate and probably shouldn't have been allowed to have children in the first place, but I doubt there is anything any charity, however well meaning, can do much about.
