Gain youth work experience with Connect Alloa
As the hot topic activity we conducted a survey with our young participants to analyze youth perspective on homelessness.
1 in 6 young people are affected by mental health issues, according to the Mental Health Foundation. There’s some evidence that creative activities like painting, drawing and writing can have a positive impact on mental wellbeing.
This week’s Hot Topic was a discussion about online safety and cyber security! As a group, we feel this is a very important issue for young people, especially with so much of our lives happening online right now due to Covid-19.
May 10th to May 16th 2021 is Mental Health Awareness Week! Over the next few days, we will be sharing resources about mental health from other charities on our social media.
A short update from our Project Leader, Dave about Connect Alloa’s plans for the summer.
We had an amazing lock-in event and managed to raise over £200! Woo! A massive thanks to everyone who donated.

We’ve had the same dilemma as everyone else over the past year: how do you adapt to life online? Since moving our youth group sessions online, we’ve had to get creative about what activities we can offer our young people.
