Weekly Update – 28/10/2019
Dear all,
As we edge towards the end of October already, here is a few snippets of what we got up to last week here at TRAIN:
- Young Men’s – a workshop in First Aid, as the young men work towards certification with the Red Cross
- Young Women’s Football – those who came along engaged really positively in a bit of training at Edmunds Park
- Detached and Outreach – good sessions throughout the week, including lots of young people coming along and enjoying some pizza at our bean bag set up one evening, reducing their engagement in anti-social behaviour and substance misuse.
- Social Action – young people came along for Didcot Town Council’s Litter Pick at Great Western Park on Saturday. All did a brilliant job, especially considering the early morning start and the drizzly, windy weather which made it quite a challenge working with the flapping bin bag and prizing up the damp litter!
With this week being half term week we have a number of fun activities for young people to get involved in, including a Halloween themed outreach night on the night itself and a trip to Thorpe park’s Fright Night.
