DRC Halloween Party!

We had a great turn out for our annual Halloween bash.

There were some spooky moves pulled during our special Halloween Zumba session!

The costumes were cracking!

Y-POD - Youth Director's Online Directory

Y-POD is the youth provider's online directory based towards helping young people find what activities are available in their local area.  Myself and one other young person from the youth project were part of a team that helped make this website. There were also two other young people from different organisations involved in the project. Over 4 months, starting from the end of June till October we worked tirelessly to make the website for young people.

On the website you can find sections dedicated to help different groups of young people like young carers, families and professionals. For example: if a young single parent was looking for a play group and was new to an area, y-pod could tell the young person where these activities take place. 

We are looking to advertise this website by mainly word of mouth through different organisations 

Please visit this link and spread the word!!

Community Clean Up

Tonight we were working together with the 'Scouts' and 'DRC Environment Trust' on a community clean up of the local area. We set out for an hour and managed to collect 10 bags full of rubbish. We were shocked by how much litter we were able to collect in such a short space of time. 

We're definitely going to look to make this a more regular activity. Both the DRCET and Scouts are up for working together again in the next few months. We achieved a lot in a very short space of time. 

DRC Drama Group - 'CONSEQUENCES'.

Here is our drama group prepping their set before the BIG show last Wednesday. "CONSEQUENCES" was a drama piece which aimed to have young people consider the consequences when making decisions about drugs/ alcohol, bullying and peer pressure. The campus was so packed that the group had to do two shows to meet demand. Their hard work really paid off. 

Everyone at the DRC Youth Project would like to thank 'Drumchapel Life' for funding and supporting the drama project. 

G15 Youth Cup!

The Champions with the trophy!

DRC Girl's Team - Champions!

Very proud to say that the DRC Youth Project girl's football team won the G15 Youth Cup on Saturday!!! Amazing!

The team would like to thank the 'Grand Week Initiative' for all their continued support.

Clean Up Scotland's 'Ditch the Dirt Hero' award

Massive congratulations to Neil and his team at the 'DRC Environment Trust' for being awarded the 'Ditch the Dirt Hero' award. The youth committee worked together with the DRCET during Clean Up Scotland's two week campaign to highlight the issue of dog fouling in the local area. Members of the DRC Youth Project joined the DRCET at St. Paul's Primary (Whiteinch) to show their support.
