A big well done to one of our young people who recently popped in to collect their certificate after successfully completing their Dynamic Youth Award in Internet Safety!

The award was completed before the summer, recognising their hard work and learning around staying safe online.

It's great to see our young people developing new skills and gaining recognition for their achievements. Well done! 👏

Monday Madness at Haldane Youth Services!

We've had a busy Monday at HYS, with lots going on across our sessions!

🎨 Arts & Crafts

Our art session was full of Halloween fun as the young people helped decorate HYS for Halloween before getting creative with glitter glue and making their very own DIY ghosts!

📚 Homework Club is back!

Monday also marked the return of our Homework Club. The young people were supported with their homework and, once finished, enjoyed some well-deserved time playing games together.

A brilliant start to the week, filled with creativity, learning and fun!

Take a look at some of what we've been getting up to!
