We are a charity offering a safe drop-in space for young people, S1 to S4 age group. The space has a pool table, football table, PS5 & WII games space, along with couches for chatting and chilling. There is also a kitchen for cooking activities such as making pizzas. We offer different fun activities, which include day trips away and regular discos. There is also an outside summer programme during the school holidays. The Project is run by volunteers, so we are always on the look out for new volunteers.
