These will be facilitated by Crossfit, Downpatrick; Mourne Archery Centre, Maghera; East Down Boxing Club, Crossgar and Grassroots Football.
The final night will be a celebration night whereby those involved will compete in a Soccer Tournament and receive a reward for attending. The participants will also receive information from ASCERT on the effects of alcohol and the PSNI will offer advice on anti-social behaviour and bullying/cyberbullying.
Chairman of PCSP, Councillor William Dick said: “This is an excellent opportunity whereby local young people will have fun experiencing a range of different sports whilst working together on key safety issues such as internet safety. This is the first time this type of partnership, with such a variety of facilitators, has taken place.”
This is a one-off programme which is provided free-of-charge, including transport to and from the particular venues. Places are very limited and will be offered of a first come, first served basis so don’t delay.
