YOUTH PROJECT
For years Govan young people have congregated in a local
park and other areas close to the Trust's premises and there they participate in drug and alcohol abuse, which often leads to anti-social behaviour. Gangs have also emerged and tensions within Govan's youth are increasingly becoming apparent. It is in this context that Preshal's youth project was established in April 2008.The Trust had long aspired to provide some form of diversionary a
ctivity and this became possible with additional financial help, especially from Ebenezer Evangelical Church, Motherwell
The Trust's premises are now open from 7-9pm on a Tuesday evening and a programme of activities takes place, mounted by Preshal staff and volunteers. Arts andcrafts, games, sports and other pastimes are undertaken by something of the order of 40-50 young people each week and in all the Trust has contact with about 100 youngsters. Currently we are seeking further funding to open a second night per week, hopefully from April 2009..
We are now open on Tuesday evenings for Youth Work
