Police Community Support Officer Penny Gatenby I am PCSO Pen Gatenby and Long Ashton has been my beat for 5 years. EPIC Youth provide a friendly environment for the youth of Long Ashton to spend their Monday, Wednesday and Thursday nights. The club is well organised with a variety of interests including dance, cooking and sport with up to date, well trained Youth workers. As a community officer I have always felt welcomed by both the youth and the youth workers. Epic Youth is a fantastic venue for young people and police to meet and discuss any concerns and issues they may be experiencing making it an integral part of my beat work.

Long Ashton Youth Club Management Committee EPIC have done a brilliant job of developing the Long Ashton Youth Club over the last year. Beccy, with her enthusiasm and Kathy, with her calm organisation are a great combination. They have provided a range of activities to challenge and maintain the interest of our young people and have brought new members on board. We have been very lucky to have them.
