County Lines Workshops for Local Schools

Apr 25

In April, we took our County Lines workshops out of the youth centre and into local schools, working alongside Luke and Amy from First People Housing CIC.

We visited John Colet School and Ashlyns School, reaching around 1,300 students over two days. Luke shared his own story of substance misuse and how quickly things can spiral. Students found the assembly really powerful and honest. One comment was, "it was informative and interesting with real facts."

Afterwards, Swan members came into the centre still talking about what they'd heard, with some really powerful discussions. That's always a great sign they've taken it on board and it resonates with them.

A huge thank you to Luke and Amy from First People Housing CIC, and to the staff at John Colet School and Ashlyns School for making it happen.
