| Dufftown Youth Drop In
Dufftown Community Association has been concerned that young people are
'camping out' in the bus shelter in the square each evening. A group
of girls attended the Association meeting with the CD Workers and it was
agreed after discussion to look for potential venues, where young people
could meet. It was later suggested that a possible location was a
local hotel, which had previously allowed young people to use the lounge bar
as a non-alcoholic venue. The 'Drop In' started in December and meets
on Monday and Wednesday evenings for 14+ years, staffed by a local youth
worker. The young people now have a warm and secure place to meet.. |

An 8 week project giving young people the opportunity to learn skills in
these areas and produce a DVD has started in Rothes for young people of High
School age. The project is a joint initiative between the Community
Development Youthwork Team and the Arts Development Worker and meets each
Wednesday.. |
