Over the last few months we have been seeing numbers increasing at the Wednesday and Friday Drop ins which seen 68 different young people attend the drop ins last week, we are currently exploring how we continue to manage the demand as we were at full capacity last week and with the darker nights we are limited to the outdoor space we can use.
