Drug and Alcohol safety at Sherbourne!

At Sherborne group they covered Drugs & Alcohol, Personal Hygiene, & the Environment, the session was packed with information. Starting off they looked into the different classifications of drugs and the punishments for possession or intent to sell. They then moved on to a more interactive activity that had young people consider an individual who is involved in substance use and what advice they would give them to help them get out of their situation. They then discussed the importance of hygiene and gave each other tips and tricks on how to navigate dysphoria or sensory issues when covering personal hygiene. They ended the session on a quiz about individual impact on carbon footprints

The young people had fun doing all the activities as well as the change of scenery from them being in the park and young people brought along food to share

Welcome Fest at Bournemouth and Poole College!

It was a great day being a part of the welcome fest at Bournemouth and Poole college. We got to speak to lots of new young people and informed them of everything we do at Space Youth Project, to support LGBT+ young people across Dorset. We had many conversations which led to a lot of interest in the groups and it was great to be a part of welcoming the new students.

Weymouth College Frshers Fair!

What a brilliant event to attend at Weymouth college freshers fair! It was incredible to speak to so many young people and let them know about Space Youth Project and what the groups can offer. So many young people said how great it is to have a safe space for LGBT+ young people in Weymouth. It was great to see some familiar faces of young people that already attend the groups.
