Women’s Housing Action Group recently held International Youth day event at the Rose Court project. Around 30 young people attended from NCS The Challenge. The aim of the event was for the young people to meet up with tenants at Rose Court as well as having fun. We had a DJ come from Vibe (Drake Street) he allowed the young people to have a mix on the DJ equipment, a face painter, Living well were available to complete health checks and Healthy Minds giving advice on their service. The atmosphere was excellent, the young people were a pleasure to be around, they were all very pleasant and polite.
