Cheryl Cole Wants To Open Youth Center For The Bored

Girls Aloud

Girls Aloud star Cheryl Cole has said that she would like to open a youth centre for bored teenagers in her home town.

The 24-year-old pop singer said: "Kids have no opportunities in areas. Kids want to be involved in boxing but haven't got a boxing school nearby, little things like that to prevent them, or they're not privileged like that and can't afford £10 a week for boxing or swimming or whatever it is."

"Every community should have a community centre where kids can do stuff," she said.

"I have actually spoken to people about it, getting somewhere in Newcastle, instead of hanging around on the streets somewhere, having somewhere to go."

The singer also said: "If and when I do it, I want to be quite hands-on. At the moment I'm too busy with the tour and stuff."
