Young GAME Changers (GAME stands for Great Acts Make Engaged) (360G-WCF-A546026)
The Abingdon Damascus Youth Project works on disadvantaged estates in Abingdon, Drayton, Appleford, Milton, Sutton Courtenay and Steventon. It enables young people, aged 10-20 years, to realise their potential and make a positive difference within their own communities. Funding is towards running costs for The Young Game Changers project to engage young people in local decision making. COVID19 update – The aim is to start during the lockdown, building on current online work which includes 1:1 support, videos on activities (e.g. food), workshops (e.g. on cannabis CHC being sold locally that look like sweets). Using Instagram and Facebook depending on the age group, they are running a daily live session in each community.
