LOGOS
LogosYouth Project delivers youth work in the Strathearn and Strathallan areas from Youth Hubs in Crieff and Auchterarder .
This year ' s Summer programme included a variety of outdoor and indoor sessions . The young people all really enjoyed the Walk & Talk format which was therefore continued .
Aware of how much young people were missing regular contact , Logos offered dropin sessions to provide a safe space to meet their friends , build relationships with staff and young volunteers and enjoy themselves . A weekly Quiz on Zoom was also continued from the previous year .
What We Did
We ran a full programme of summer activities in Crieff and Auchterarder for young people aged 11-18 living in the Strathearn and Strathallan areas . This included specific transition programmes for those going into S1 , with these culminating in a S1 week in both areas .
Activities included Walk and Talks , S1 Fun afternoons on a Wednesday in Crieff and Auchterarder , Auchterarder Adventure Games afternoon , Comrie Games afternoon and Logos Crieff Highland Games , day time and evening drop-ins , Zoom Quiz night . Snacks were available , including fruit as requested by the young people , during each and water or hot drinks , plus toast . At the three Games events we provided a sausage sizzle or burgers . During the S1 Fun week we provided lunch on one of the days as well as snacks etc and if any young person did not have a packed lunch we made sure they had lunch .
Locations
This year we ran full summer programmes from both our Crieff and Auchterarder hubs which meant that we were able to reach many more young people in the local area . For the first time we also held an outdooractivity event in Comrie , which we hope to repeat , involving partners next year .
