Intergenerational Project

By sallyg

Sally Gardens Senior Citizens Club joined forces with young people from the Bytes Project in an intergenerational project.

Youth Justice supported the project, providing young people with the opportunity to explore issues that matter most to Senior Citizens living in the Colin area.

The project has certainly improved relations between young people and senior citizens and feedback from both groups highlighted the need to build on the positive work.

Drugs Awareness Programme

By sallyg

Fifteen young people benefited from a drugs awareness programme facilitated by Ascert.

Over a number of sessions, young people received information on the negative aspects of drug/alcohol misuse, focusing on mental health implications and building confidence to resist peer pressure.

The sessions had been extremely informative, reinforcing the need to engage in a positive lifestyle.
