- Bucky Busters roadshow dates throughout July and August
This group is made up of young people from Alloa who are raising awareness about the dangers of alcohol and safety as well as distributing information to their peer group.
The group had been meeting with the detached youth workers at various locations in Alloa on a Friday night. The topic of alcohol and health were often discussed with the group, however, they felt that much of the youth information was not relevant to their experiences.
The detached workers therefore agreed to support this core group to develop this peer education project.
Information leaflet
As part of the project, group members worked with our detached youth workers in putting together an information leaflet geared towards young people. You can view or download the Bucky Busters leaflet from this page.
Group meetings
The group meets every Thursday from 6.00 - 9.00 pm at the Hawkhill Centre.
Recognition
This project will be used by the group as a submission for their silver Youth Achievement Award and their volunteering has been acknowledged through their membership of the local Clacks Youth Timebank Project.
Events
