SCOTLAND VS DENMARK

We are delighted to announce that the 'Tartan Army Children's Charity' will provide free tickets for 'Scotland VS Denmark' on Tuesday, 29th March for 8 young people (aged 15 and under) and 2 members of staff. As well as a free ticket, those chosen to go attend the game will receive an official Scotland top and a free flag. The DRC are delighted with the offer of support from the Tartan Army and cannot wait until our group are supporting Scotland under the floodlights of Hampden. 

Smoothies!!!

Last night was time for some fresh and healthy smoothies. We used strawberries, bananas, raspberries, blueberries, kiwi fruit, pineapple, mango, natural yoghurt and vanilla ice-cream to make the best smoothies in Glasgow. We couldn't get enough of them!

DRC Scotstoun Club (12 - 25 years)

Our highly popular youth club in Scotstoun runs on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evenings between 5-8pm in the 'Heart of Scotstoun' community centre. 

We have internet access, computers, DJ equipment, a pool table, an Xbox One, PS4 and numerous games and activities on a regular basis.

 Our weekly FIFA tournament can be competitive but a lot of fun!

Gamblers Anonymous Scotland

Two representatives from 'Gamblers Anonymous Scotland' visited our 'personal development and employability' group today to speak about the issues they have encountered through gambling. The discussion that developed throughout the session was thought provoking and gave a real insight into the impact gambling can have on an individual's life and the damage it can do to their relationships with friends and family. We really appreciated Charles and Steven taking the time to speak to members of the DRC.

Working in Partnership with Blairdardie Youth Project

The DRC have been working in partnership with Blairdardie Youth Project.

On Tuesday evenings we have been working together with young people in Blairdardie Pavillion. 

This cross community initiative has seen young people from Yoker and Blairdardie socialising and participating during a number of team activities. 

Pancake day was magic! Some great efforts made by our team. 

Personal Development & Employability Sessions

At the DRC, we continue to offer ongoing support to young people who are looking to explore what opportunities are available in further education, employment or training. 

We are currently supporting a group of young people who are preparing to sit the 'Health Safety and Environment Test for Operatives'. This will enable the group to secure their 'Construction Skills Certification Scheme' (CSCS) card. CSCS is the leading skills certification within the UK construction industry. 

Marshmallow & Spaghetti 'Construct a Tower' Challenge

On Tuesday our club members took part in a technical challenge that tested their skills and patience. Each group was asked to construct a tower using only marshmallow and spaghetti. The group with the tallest (stable) tower would be crowned the winner!!

Team work and cooperation was needed throughout the task. 

The leaning tower of Yoker.

Each group had their own ideas on how to tackle the challenge.

This was a bonkers winning approach to the task. Congratulations to the winning team!
