It was agreed that the workshop which was facilitated by ASCERT was engaging and informative and allowed young people to learn about the dangers of substances and in particular those classed as ‘legal highs’. Speaking about the project, PCSP Chairman Cllr Willie Clarke said: “The Youth Engagement Project has been a highly successful and has explored a wide variety of themes including anti-social behaviour, substance abuse and cultural identity whilst at the same time providing the opportunity for  volunteers of the scheme to enjoy a number of enjoyable days out.”    ]]>
