New projects for DYP

Since we last updated you on the work of DYP we have seen some significant changes in the project.

Work related learning
We are now working with the Work Related Learning Project which is run by the County Council's Youth Service team to deliver a program based on accrediting practical learning. This takes place on Thursdays from 8:30 - 3pm and Ben is working with the Youth Service to deliver the project. It is a great piece of work to be involved with and it is also bringing in some more funding to the project.

Lost and Found
Ben and Amy have now been trained to deliver the Lost and Found course which is designed to help small groups of young people deal positively with experiences of loss like bereavement and divorce. This will be something we will be looking to deliver in partnership with local schools.

Nurture
Nurture has also been relaunched with it now meeting every other week at the Youth Hut on Fridays from 1 to 2:30pm. Amy is also working with the Children's Centre (formerly Sure Start) at Clack Close to support young parents and build bridges for the project.
