Some of our young people made the most of their day off school by getting up (relatively early for a non school day 🤣), heading to Tollymore for a good walk, followed by free time in Newcastle (sweets, games and chatting).

We love a good walk with young people! Getting out into nature helps boost our mood 😁, encourages exercise 🚶 and gives everyone a chance to chat and build relationships 💬

And today was made just a little better with a spot of sunshine ☀️ flowers 🌺 and river sounds 🌊

Thanks to everyone who join in!

Last Saturday we had our final Birds and Bees workshop - reminding young people of what elements help build a healthy relationship.

Young people were encouraged to think of themselves - considering their own self worth. We hope young people know they are valued, that they matter, that they have purpose and belong.

To help remind everyone of own self-worth we made affirmation bracelets - sometime simple to remind young people that they are kind, nice, thoughtful, fun, valued, have hope, are humble and more.

We had such fun last night at P7 Dropin and Junior Dropin - check out the beaded fairy lights some made 💡 Some even finished their diamond painting bookmarks that were started last week 💎

And the rain has finally stopped which meant the outback was open for basketball 🏀 badminton 🏸 and a space to chat (we didn’t even mind the breeze) 🌼

To top it off, we even had the football on at the door for viewing with milkshakes going non stop (thanks to volunteers for all the help in the kitchen and with shop runs for cream and milk after a record amount of supplies gone through 🤣).

Keep an eye on socials next week as we confirm details for our end of term parties 🥳

And once more, thank you to Asda and KFC for supplying us plenty of snacks and free food through FareShare Northern Ireland - we had plenty of KFC chicken, cookies, lemon drizzle cake, pancakes and more available for our young people to enjoy at both dropins.

The past number of Saturday nights we’ve had short workshops covering topics related to The Birds & the Bees - using resources from All Equal, All Safe to help guide discussions around healthy relationships.

Thank you to everyone who’s engaged in themes around values, respect, consent, role models, social media, boundaries and more.

Our final workshop is this Saturday and will include creative ways to reflect on our own self-worth. All young people in 2nd yr+ are very welcome to come along.

Saturday dropin remains 8pm-11pm with our workshop included, weather permitting outside (followed by a campfire and S’mores) | £1 admission
